You might want to try focusingon 20 yrds its not to far to blow your flinchs and stuff way off but the little added distance will make you have to hold even more steady and ounce your holding steady at 20 anything closer will be alot easier. That is how it is for most thats how I do it alot of the time I shoot 40 yrds more then I practice 20 yrds. The same principles matter for all distances (as long as your sites are on). If you shoot a release just your finger moves nothing else. And like everyone said dont worry just have fun you got lots of time until the season starts. ( which reminds me I got to go out tomm. night my 20 30 and 40 are all 2 inches low... still dont have to new bow fine tuned)

If you feel like you may be flinching, or having some form issues, try shooting at a blank bale before and after each practice session to ingrain that feeling of a perfect release into your routine. I have practiced more this year than ever on strictly my release and all I can say is that every other aspect of my shooting has fallen into place.

I have target practiced for several years in a in-door range and it is nice to be inside when the temps of summer is 90 degree's or above with high humidity added to the factor,but there's nothing better than an outdoor range and shooting from an elevation to sharpen your skills in the real world of Hunting!

I'm at Broadway and Arapahoe in Centennial. I went to C470 and Morrison road last night and shot at Bear Creek Park. Are You a member of Colorado Waterfowl? PM sent.

Edit-Thanks for the invite, I hope we get to shoot one day soon.
