Default RE: Shooting tips.

good tips guys...

ontop of that, dont OVER do it. last year i got my first bow in late july i think it was. i was in a hurry...leave for school late august and would only have 2-3 days a week to practice after that...i over did it. my shooting suffered. my shoulder was on the verge of being in serious trouble. shooting tired is not good. bad habits start, frustration sets in...just no go. practice as much as you can...everyday is great...but dont shoot yourself out. once you start feeling tired, hang the bow up. i find if i shoot 3 arrows at a time, opposed to 5 i can shoot alot longer. just givess my muscles a little more time to relax i guess..

i cant stress what arthur said as well...i just got in from shooting 50yds. i never imagined shooting 50yds with a bow. only the second time ive done it and im doing well...but whats more impressive, and why i shoot long distance, is my short range shooting. my 40yd groups are now better than ever...tomarrow, i plan on shooting 60...i wanna shrink those 50yd groups

perfect practice makes perfect. shooting in GOOD form and consistant form is the way to get good. consistancy is key...grip, form, sight picture, sight alignment...everything gotta be the same.

also...."aim small, miss small" at 50yds im shooting at a 1" square. that 1" square looks HUGE at 20yds. i need get me some golf tees. someone here said they make a good closer range target. my groups shrunk immediatly when i started painting smaller targets
