So this evening I decided to only practice with one arrow at 20 yards.

I would concentrate on my shot sequence, shoot, and retrieve my arrow.

Anytime I was outside my quarter size dot, I would take a minute or two to question why I had 'missed.' What had I done to shoot outside of my intended spot? What could I have done differently. How would doing something differently have affected the outcome of the shot?

At the end of the shooting session I had only missed maybe a half dozen or so times (I had shot maybe 50 - 60 arrows) and had noticed certain things about my shooting sequence that I'll start working on tomorrow evening.

For those of you who don't have the 'pie-plate' mentality to your shooting, how many of you take time during your practice sessions to question why a shot went bad? Have you found it helpful at all? Am I overly anal about my shooting?
