Default RE: Hitting the improvement wall... what do to?

YUP, if that's what you really want to do, you can get better. BUT, do you really want your life reduced to nothing but shooting. What are you doing this for... money, glory, tournaments, hunting .?????? You're already ahead of the average Joe with a Bow, no matter what they say on the internet. To go beyond where you are you'll need to start all over and really "Become the arrow" Grasshopper. It's all mental at this point. Your equipment is tuned at this point or you wouldn't be shooting what you are. The last phase is becoming the arrow in flight. It's a total mental game. Every action of the shot sequence has to become a law of nature. You must duplicate it every shot. It's not about 100 arrows during a practice round, it's all about THE ARROW. The mind and body must be tuned too in all aspects, sleep, rest, food and muscle tone. You have to ask yourself, is that really what I want and why do I want it. You can already kill anything on the planet. We're assuming you have the equipment tuned to your body, optimum draw length, weight, arrows etc and then comes the mind games. Realize of course that concentration can be dashed in a moment when a thought of them or me comes into the equation. There will always be someone better coming along. To what purpose to you really desire to become the greatest. It's all in the mind.... it's all in the mind.
