There's lots of different styles that will get you there--if you can find a good shooter to work with you, that would be the route I'd take. If not, a good book is Byron Ferguson's "Become the Arrow" and a good video is Ricky Welch's "Instinctive Archery, Volume II". Two different styles from two excellent archers.

Consistency is the key, as with any bow, firearm, etc. If you can hit the same spot every time, then you know what and how to adjust. If you hit a different spot every time, you need to work on consistency first.

For hunting, you want perfect arrow flight--or as close as a finger release will get you. Bad arrow flight will rob you of penetration.

Get good info and practice, practice, practice. Don't practice bad habits--they will just be that much harder to break.

Good luck!
