Shooting problem please help!!!
Hey guys im tryin to get some practice in and get pretty good as i just started with a bow and i want to get ready for bowseason. Im shootin about ping-pong paddle sized groups and i wanted to know if anyone has any methods of like staying still with the bow or focusing on a certain point etc. i just want some thing that will help me get my groups tighter and help me be able to hold the bow steady and on the target so i will be ready for deer season.
Thanks Colten |

I have the same problem, I have a hard time holding my bow still. I went to a heavier stabilizer, and that seemed to helpa little. Good luck.

Buckmaster, maybe try to workout a little like pushups/pull-ups? That might help your shoulders stabilize the bow.
And buck, something that has been really helping me lately is really "burning a hole in the target" right before I release my arrow. I focus on my pins, then to the target....then I burn that hole in the target. Someone on here said that line about burning a hole recently and I tried it. My groups have improved. |

Practicing and building the muscles that shoot a bow is good. A syabilizer can definitely help too, but probably the most important thing for being able to control a bow is getting the draw length to fit you and not trying to shoot too much draw weight. These are the two most important things.
Accuracy comes from developing decent, consistent shooting form. You can't develop good shooting form if you're fighting a bow. If your draw length is too long and you're drawing about 10# too much weight then consider yourself to be in the same group as 80% of people shooting today. |

I know alot of bowhunters are still shooting too long but there are alot of target archers that are going the opposite way and shooting too short. |

RE: Shooting problem please help!!!
Well, it depends on your style if you really need help at this point. Are you shooting pins, peep, barebow or what? Besides the muscle build up, the bow must be tuned. The arrows must fly true and be the same. Form is the driving force.

RE: Shooting problem please help!!!
im shooting pins looking thru a peep the tuning is fine i just have trouble relaxing and keeping the pin where i want until im ready to fire
