RE: Your practice routines
I do about 80% of my shooting beyond 40 yds. Up to 70 yds. I have gotten to the point where I can consistently group 40 yd. shots in about a 4-5 in circle. Kill zone every time. At 70 I can keep them in a 7-8 in circle. I do step up and practice from at 20-30 sometimes, but I have to shoot 1 arrow groups as I smack the shafts to much at that range.I have shot and practiced "form" more this year than ever before, and it is paying off big time. I am more confident than I have ever been with a bow. Hopefully it will pay off come the moment of truth this fall.
