Default Measurable progress!

I have been working on shooting my recurve for a couple of weeks now and really feel good about my progress. I got the book " Become the Arrow" by Byron Ferguson at the advise of dwd2001. It has been a great help and I know how to better focus on what I'm doing. It also taught me that my form must be somewhat different than when shooting my compound.
I also, after trying several different arrows found the right ones. What a difference. I am shooting aluminum 2016 cut at 30" with a 125gr. field tip. My DL is 28 1/2". I found this by placing a clothespin on the shaft and drawing to my anchor with my eyes closed. I did this several times and the results were consistant.
I am now able to shoot a consistant paperplate group at 15 yds. Not great by any means but great progress. I will move out to 20yds tomorrow and see how I do. This is fun!
