Default RE: holding bow arm steady(is it possible)

Lots and lots of shooting, goldtip, although it sounds like you' re more than just a weekend archer. In general, the more you shoot and practise consistent form, the steadier you become. The muscle groups used gradually become stronger and atuned to the shot sequence. If you found that you were unsteady at 65 lb, it was probably good strategy to back off your poundage.

Like many others, I shoot at least a little most every day. In winter it' s indoor spot shooting, spring it' s 3D, and summer it' s practise in the yard, which continues through the hunting season in fall. That amounts to roughly 4 or 5000 shots per year. If you' re already doing this, I' m sure the steadiness will follow naturally.

I also find that if I lay off for a couple weeks (like go on holidays or something), I' m noticeably less steady when I pick up the bow again.
