Practice practice practice. Practice makes perfect, and you have to have perfect practice too. Make sure your bow is tuned well too as far as cam timing and paper tears. Things get different beyond 30 yards. The breeze starts to affect the arrow more, and any mistake you do in grip, flinch or punching the trigger will show up at that range. 40 yards is a long way to shoot at a deer in the woods. I practice with bheads out to 50 yards, and I've killed 40-45 deer with a bow. Maybe 3 of them were over 30 yards, and one at 55. So just relax, practice, and know your limits.

Nobody can critique your form till someone sees it. So if you can get to a good shop with some good shooters to help ya out, it's tough for us on here. Relax your bow had, and squeeze the release. let the pin float, and focus on the X. LOL after about 1000 shots, it'll become natural for you

I need some advise or tips or whatever you want to call it. I am having trouble getting a good group at 40 yards consistenly(spell). i have good 2-3 inch groups at 20 and 30 yards. but i am working on my 40 yard pin and it is taking alot more time then my other two. this is my first new bow and my second year of bowhunting. i dont have anyone else who can give me hands on training i am self tought with the help of HuntingNet and a couple people i talk to i have gotten this far. i was and i am just going to continue to do the only thing i know to do and practice but i wasnt sure if you guys and gals could give me any quick hints or not. i appreciate it.
lol thanks for the postive outlook!! and thanks for the idea i need to find someone to show me if my form is right i will see what i can do with that.
