Get very close to the target, trying to draw the same way each time. don' t worry as much about where the arrow hits, but rather, drawing the same way each time. With your recruve, it is better for you to not " grip" with your whole hand on the riser, but to use the " V" between your forefinger and thumb. This creates less torque on the bow. As you draw the string, just let the pressure of your draw hold your bow in the well of your " V"

If you find a standard three fingered draw (1 on top of the nock, 2 under) somewhat awkward, try a " three under" draw. In either case, draw the string until you can touch the corner of your mouth with your middle finger. Make sure your draw arm is in-line with the arrow, that your elbow is not pointed up or down, but straight, almost an extension of the arrow.

Also, cant the bow a bit if you are shooting from the shelf, so the shelf looks more like a " V" than a backward " L" when you draw. This allows the arrow to rest in the shelf, providing a more secure launch. Simply look where you want to shoot as you release. As long as you aren' t flinging arrows off the target, don' t worry about where they hit.

When your arm tires, or begins to shake when you draw, TAKE A BREAK, prehaps even for the day. If you continue shooting while fatigued, you will certainly develop bad habits.

It is a matter of doing it the same way each time. Good form is developed and takes time. Most of all, be PATIENT, simply enjoy shooting arrows. As the arrows group more consistently, then back up a step or two, and do the same thing. Continue this pattern until this becomes second nature.

HAVE FUN!
