Default RE: How do you control the mental game?

dont think about it. i found that after i got a good solid form and anchor points that i repeated 1000 times and felt comfortable and natural i no longer HAD to think. no longer had to check the sight level because i KNEW it was level..no longer had that mental check list...when i was at my peak this summer it was 100% natural..draw..settle the pin and the arrow was there. it just felt natural when i did things right..and i could FEEL when i was doing something diffrent. took ALOTof practice to get there..and every so many shots id run the check list..grip, sight picture, anchor, sight level etc..i just got in a grove and went with it...

i dont know what the proper thing to do or anything is...thats just what worked for me...my first year of self taught archery...i wasnt perfect...but i was happy with my groups at 35 and 40yds...
