RE: Question about "distance" shooting
Listen to Bob. He tried to give me advise when I started and I couldn't help but to wildly wing arrows 100's of times until I hurt my shoulder at 20-30 yards. And didn't learn anything at all except to move back up and start with the basics. Get a form down that works for you. Try to find someone to watch your release and coach you. It is so helpful. Buy some good books like "becoming the arrow", or "trad archery" by Brian Sorrells or some Fred Ashby books.Sorrells has an excellent, but tedious approach to learning. I am convinced if someone follows his routine they will advance quicker than any other method. If you can stick with it. Everybody wants to move out quickly
He wants you to start close, like 3-5 yards and work on form and placement. When you are able to put your arrows within 1" group over and over, move backa few yards. But spending a huge amount of your time with your eyes closed, and working on good release before each session.
Also try not to shoot more than 20-30 arrows a session.
