I am just practicing my butt off.

However, I am questioning my routine. I am a fairly young (23), and have energy. It is not unocmmon for my target to see 100 arrows in a practice session at a rate of 3-4 times per week.

I question my groupings at the beginning, as I really only feel solid satisfaction on say the last half of the arrows (50-100).My initial problem is that out of say a three arrow round, I can perfectly group only two, with the third being somewhat off (read: 4-6 inches, usually left and sometime high). There is no discrepancy on which arrow it might be...1...2....or 3.

I do not take breaks in between rounds (3-5 arrows each round), with the exception of arrow retrieval.

I have been able to end with tight groupings that I feel sure enough to hunt with(fletchings touching each other up to 22yds).Keep in mind I change distance, and angles to the target often, so I know I am not just getting familiar with hitting the same shot over and over. I am just slow to really warm up. I cannot have this happen in the woods.

Therefore I am thinking of a routine change. It is still 16 days before opener, so I can change habits. But I have a feeling it is a form problem that I might be overlooking.

I would like to see what the general consensus is on routines, and how they affect form.
