Boys, I promise ya, get away from shooting groups, and your shooting will improve like you won't believe. It helped me considerably. I shoot one at a time now, and never from the same yardage or spots. And try to not shoot at known yardages.

RE: 17 yards groups, bring on the turkeys!
 
Big, I'm trying not to shoot groups so to speak. I'm shooting for different spots on the target. Old arrow holes, the liver, the heart. I can move the target from 11 - 18 yards and move it around every time I retrieve my arrows to not get in a rut! On the other side of the block I try and shoot for the letters that spell "Block". When I go to the park I walk around and just shoot at different distances and like you said it does wonders for me! I have yet to be able to walk thru the woods and go stumping, will do when all this snow melts in the woods! I try to shoot in a hunting type scenario as much as possible, elevated, backed up to a tree, around a tree everything to keep me ffrom getting in to a bad habit rut! Thanks for advice it does work for me!

I agree Bob, I "wanted" to for a few years and kept telling myself this summer, this summer I'll get a Longbow. I should of did 10 years ago!

Tony and Tony(peak) you guys gotta just go and do it, go out and get a bow and start shooting! I have a good feeling you'll enjoy it!;):)
