RE: Relaxation and shooting form advice needed
TS-
Once you have form and ability down fairly well- the biggest obstacle to competitive archery is mostly the mental game.
A great book for this sort of thing is "With Winning In Mind" by Lanny Bassham. He was an Olympic and World champion shooter (rifle). You can find used copies around (even used ones on Amazon.com) for under $10. It's a short read book, but meant to be that way to get to the main points with no fluff.
I gets you into a mental routine and way of thinking about your game that is consistent and repetitive so that when you get into competition you don't feel so overwhelmed.
Great book- simple in nature but very helpful.
