RE: Consistend Shooting?
thanks for the help guys, at the moment, my effective range is 20 yards.but my groups are getting farther and farther apart. i think its because i tire quickly. i shot today longer than i ever have, at 4-5 hours total.i watched my groups get tighter, but as i kept going, they quickly started to spread out again. i took my proficency test to hunt on a prive ilsand, which is a hotspot up here in RI and did fine, but it was a wide set group. a guy came up to me, and helped me out, with such things as letting the bow flow, instead of trying to control the pins, which hlped alot. i ended up finding out hes top 10 in the world for his age class. hes been shooting for 40-50+ years. he can hit a dime 100/100 shots, with his recurve. he told me, they way he practices is by setting his anchor points, recognizing them, and closing his eyes before shooting. and sure enough, hed line up his sights, close his eyes, and hit a bull. it was amazing to me.
but going back to what you guys said, im going to try working on my stamina and conditioning more. im not too small of a guy either. im 5'9'' 210lbs at 15 years old. i got some muscle on the bones. but hopfuly, the anchor point remembrance will help, thanks a lot guys.
