There are three big reasons why people don't shoot as well as they could:

- bow tune and fit, mostly fit, draw length to long, weight to much. Strap on a BH of the same weight as a field point and shoot it from 30-40 yds, does it hit close to field points? If not, the bow isn't tuned .

- grabbing the bow. make sure your bow hand is relaxed, not a death grip on the bow, but also not with straight fingers, just let your fingers hang loose, not touching the bow, then shoot, do you feel the bow jump off your hand and into your fingers?If not, you are grabbing the bow.

- punching the release and over-aiming the bow. There is not a person alive who holds the pin dead steady on the target, they all move, so.... let it float and get off a smooth release, ideally a suprise release. If you are doing "drive by shooting" where you try to punch the trigger when the pin crosses the dot, you are in trouble...

Aiming at a smaller dot is a GREAT idea, however don't get carried away, if the dot is to small you will start punching the trigger. Personally I shoot much tighter groups at a 3D target than a spot.
