RE: "How to become a better Archer"...
I try my best to shoot every day of the year. Even if it is only one shot. I make it the best shot I can. After all, when hunting I hope to make just one shot, the best one I can. I try to shoot much more than one shot when practicingbut if that is all that time permits, one will do.

Yes,Randy Ulmer,Terry Wunderle,Bernie Pellerite,Kirk Etheridge.Read their stuff and put their guidance and suggestions to use.
A huge factor for me was learning to relax,getting the tension out of my body.Also if the shot doesn't feel right or you are not comfortable on target let down,burn that practice in to your brain.There is nothing that say's that you have to shoot that arrow,let down,give your lungs and your nervous system about 60 seconds and begin your shot sequence again.Take plenty of time between shots,it's about quality not quantity.

There is absolutely NOTHING that works better to make you a better archer than hanging out with and shooting with archers that are better than you. If there's an archery club in your neck of the woods, join it and support it.
