ARShooter- Make certain your bow is tuned and your arrows are straight (if you don't know how-seek professional help). Shoot at 30 yards until you groups decrease. Focus on picking a spot, form and following thru with each shot. Once you start grouping well, drop back down to 20 and see the difference.

I often practice at 40 yards. It takes a more precise shooter to group at 40. Once accomplished the 20 yard shot feels like giveme's! (I'm not saying to shoot animals at these distances!!)

You can also try to shoot at a 5 spot target. That way the other arrows are not on your mind. I shoot very well when I don't worry about a $7 WHACK on my arrows. When I shoot a single spot I get nervous and will float arrows around. You may not be worrying about that right now but you may be seeing your flyers and getting upset.

Try to shoot no more than 5 arrows at a time. 5 - 8 sets. If you feel tired STOP.

Also drop your draw weight down to the min that the bow will go. You are not in a position to be working a 70lber right now even if you can bench a mule. The guys that shoot 5 spot shoot HEAVY arrows and slow bows. They can shoot two or three rounds with minor fatigue. As you get better give your bow a 2.5 lb increase, you have pleanty of time to get it up to "hunting" weight.

Good luck.
