I feel for you. I have been shooting a traditional bow for almost 2 years now and am not impressed with my consistency when shooting at paper targets. That said, I am amazed at how much better I seem to do when stump shooting. I don' t know what it is about drawing on a leaf, dirt clod, or rotten stump with a judo but I just seem much more confident and consistent - and I have a lot more fun at it. If it wasn' t for roving, I think I would have given up a long time ago. Now will that confidence transfer when I' m drawing on a live animal? I don' t know yet as I' ve not been close enough to a deer or elk to take an ethical shot. I hope so...
