It's been my experience that while trying to work in any longer range rig that you MUST key in on critical bow tuning and form issues. I've seen coutless archers totally change their game when these factors were corrected and honestly, most shooters and their rigs need the improvements.
This is a great point. When I was younger, maybe 14 or 15, I didnt have much to do in the summertime other than shoot my bow and make sure my form was perfect. I could shoot baseball sized groups at 65 yards and would not have hesitated to shoot a deer at 50. The older I got, the less I shot my bow until I only would shoot it 2-3 weeks before season. What I started seeing was not only a change in the consistancy of my shots, but a change in my form alltogether. I really had a time trying to get my form down with my new bow. When I first bought my new PSE, I was not really happy with the groupings I was getting. Now, I go through a mental checklist before EVERY shot, whether it be 10 yards or 50 and I am shooting a lot better. It really is extremely important to focus on your form and practice staying in that form in order to get good at the longer range shots.
