Try this,

Concentrate your vision on the target.

Let the sight pin become blurry.

When you release, try to keep the pin on the target until you hear the arrow's impact. Don't try to watch the arrow fly. Don't become concerned about where the arrow hit until you go to retrieve your arrows.

Once you notice you missed, most people become concerned and fall into the trap of watching their arrows fly or want to see where they hit. Then they really start doing bad.

What they don't realize is, they are moving the bow to the side or dropping their bow arm at the instant they release. This causes misses. I believe a few guys tried some long range shooting and noticed they had trouble and decided they weren't going to shoot that far and just went back to 20 yds. and stayed there. They lost confidence in their ability and quit the long range stuff. If they just stayed with it as a few of us did, they'd notice a big difference in time.

This is where practicing at long range has its benefits. It teaches you you have good form and to concentrate more. It teaches you follow through.( some don't believe in follow through, but I do)
If you don't, you miss by alot. All this isn't noticed at 20 yds, but move back to 40 or 50 and you will know when you didn't do it right. If you practice at 40 or 50 for a solid week then move up to 20, you will see the greatest difference in your shooting ability. Now, just imagine practicing at 50 for a solid month. Shooting long range teaches you quickly what you are doing wrong.


I just wish some of the guys on here would try that long range practice for a few days. No 20 or 30 yd. practice, but only 40 and 50. Try tghis for just a day or 2 and then move back up to 20 and see what you notice.
