Default RE: Help!!!! I have terrible aim!!!!

I did archery for a year when I was 14, but it was only with a 20 lb short bow. Back then, I was able to put 9 out of 10 arrows into a 10x10 target at 25 yards. And I haven't done much archery since then. Around june of this year, I got into bow crafting. Since then, I've built 2 long bows and have practiced for about 2 monthes. One problem here is that, the long bows have a draw-weight of 50 lbs, and I get the tendency of plucking the the string after 10-15 shots. Another thing is that, I've never practiced with broad-head tipped arrows before, and I seem to be to be shooting them with far poorer consistency than I normally do with target arrow heads.

With that said, my practice session went well today. I did manage to put 9 out of 10 arrows into a 6x6 target at 10 yards. So when archery season starts next saturday, I think I shall only take shots that are within 10 yards.
