The obviously easiest way is to pull the string back, point the arrow at a long target and turn loose of the string.
Now, if you want to hit something.... what Lilhunter said. Solid, repeatable anchor, consistent draw length.
Use a bigger target. If you're shooting at a 4" circle at 20 yards, then a 9" circle would look proportionally the same at 50 yards. As you get better, shoot at smaller circles.
I also recommend gap shooting when you get beyond your comfort zone. Figure out where your arrow tip needs to be in relation to the target to make the arrow hit center. To make it work though, you have build a foundation for that kind of shooting with that solid anchor and consistent draw length.
Most 3D shoots don't put targets further than 30 yards for trads. But sometimes they set up optional novelty shots, and you could see most anything at any distance. Like a standing bear target at 150 yards. You don't have to shoot at it, but you will. You won't be able to resist.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
