bones,

What part of it boils down to is that you are trying to shoot groups. I heartily disagree with the idea of shooting one arrow a day. That does not teach you a darn thing. I would suggest, however, shooting one arrow at a time and then go retrieve it. That way you have a mental attitude of making that one shot count.

Another thing is that you are trying to pressure yourself. relax and have fun. The other is to not worry about hitting the ten-ring but concentrate on form and shot execution. You may need to join alocal archery club, pay attention to who some of the better target shooters are and ask for some help. Most good shooters are more than ready to help a novice. Afterall, they were one once. When ever you get it between your ears that it doesn't matter hwere the arrow hits, so long as you execute the shot right with good repeatable form, then the shots will start to go where you aimed the bow. You'll get markedly better as time goes on.

I once had a coach who was a pro and he taught me a lot. He used to stand behind me and whisper things, like "Aim the bow. Aim the bow.". Over and over again. And now I pass that on to lots of folks. "Aim the Bow". There is nothing you can do to help the arrow to the ten-ring. You must shoot the bow. Let the bow shoot the arrow.

I noticed a couple other posts you have. One concerns broadheads. A little advice. It's a long time till hunting season. Put the broadheads away and learn "shooting form" and "bow maintenance and tuning". The knowledge will help you get the broadheads flying later. Concentrate on one thing at a time.
