Default RE: Shameless solicitation for recurve lessons.

I've been shooting compounds for about 15 years.
The bow is 54# @ 28"
Bow is centershot.
I don't remember the brace height. I can check that later.
28" arrows with 3 4" slight helical feathers.
28" 2213 aluminum arrows.
Shooting off the shelf.
No pressure button.
Currently using a release tab.


I don't believe I'm "over bowed". Drawing and releasing is comfortable and smooth. My accuracy is where I'm lacking. At 20 yards, I'm everywhere. I've had a hard time determining just what is wrong - if anything - with my form. Also, I still don't have the "feel" for the aiming process. I've started at 10 yards and slowly worked my way back, but I always end up returning to the 10 yard line. It is a slow process for me so don't think I'm slinging a couple arrows at the 10 and then rushing back to the 20. Many days I don't make it past the 10 yard line.

Ossage - "Just shooting a lot and missing a lot doesn't teach you how to hit what you want to hit." YUP - that's my problem. I've tried to fine tune form, aiming, etc., but as of yet I haven't been successful.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks everyone for some great advice so far.

Mike
