bigcountry, I am glad you take your archery so seriously. Me personally I am past that point and to me its fun. Its a hobby a passion,
I have a sneakin suspicion you know better than that. Goodness, I hope you can figure it out at least.
PS bigcountry could you please define serious archer for me please?
Are you really serious? You really can't understand? One, is little bobby running around the table with a feather in his hat, calling himself tonto, with a fiberglass bow and some wood arrows, firing off at everything. Little bobby does not have a care in the world. He doesn't know if he is doing it right, or wrong. Probably at that point causing more bad habits he will have to unlearn later. But its fun, and we all did it.
The other is where you really want to make sure you don't wound a deer or boar. You want to improve, and start really taking patience in your shots. Really feeling your release, knowing it feels good. You study it, you think about it, you love it. You strive to do well.
One might take the time to haybale shoot, or to rove around his yard taking random shots.
