Default RE: shooting problems

All good advice above. The best that I can offer is, unless everything connected to the shot is the same for each shot, you can't expect the same results for each shot. Your form, anchor, release, how you grip the bow and how much you cant (tilt) the bow, must be the same each and every shot. Otherwise, your shot consistency will be just as sporatic as your mechanics of the shot. It takes a lot of practice to become consistent with a stick. It takes a lot more practice to become good with one. Learning the flight of the arrow and what you have to do to put it where it needs to go in any hunting situation takes even more practice, a lot of which is of a specialized nature, because it's difficult to know what you have to do to avoid an obstacle between you and the target, unless you get out and practice those shots. Stump shooting (roving) is one of the best methods that I know of to practice hunting situation shots, without drawing down on a live critter. Have patience and practice, practice and practice some more. Most of all, have fun with it. That's what it's all about.

Make em sharp and shoot em straight, or leave em home.
