Default RE: How to shot a recurve?

I read in your other post that you had only shot 50 arrows.... Just take your time and have fun shooting your bow for a couple of weeks.. Things will begin to settle down a bit and then you can get into tuning, form, shooting styles, etc.....

This is not an instant gratification sport. It takes time to get "good"... I suggest you just shoot the bow for week or two and then come back and let us help you.....

If you are shooting high, aim lower! Starting out, memorize how low you need to hold the arrow in order to hit the target... Do that over and over and over and over... First of all, it allows you to start building the muscles needed and you will start to get an idea of how all of this works...

Think close, 10 yds..
