If I'm shooting really well, it never fails that I will suddently shoot 5-10 really bad arrows...... Once I finally catch myself, I almost always find it was a lack of concentration....

For instance, I was shooting a tournament a few weeks back and I was really shooting well......I had about 12 perfect shots in a row... Then, over the next 5 or6 shots, I was inconsistent.... I finally made myself stop and evaluate what had just happened......I noticed while I was looking at a spot to hit, I wasn't really picking a spot!! There is a difference!! I corrected that problem and went on to shoot a good score...

Focus and concentration are so vitally important..... I find that I have to focus on the target AND focus on getting off a good shot.... May be my lack of experience, but if I don't conscienceously think about feeling the back tension, I will lose it right at the shot.....I also conscienseously think about relaxing the back of the hand to trigger the release.... If not, I will pluck it..... I'm sure these things will come natural after years of doing it, but right now, I like to conscienceously keep them in my mind so that one day, it will become subconscience....
