watching Terry's segment on aligment on the Bowhunter's of Trad Gang and putting it into practice, and then finding a solid repeatable anchor point (instead of what I though was solid and repeatable). My avatar pic shows what I was doing. I'm leaving it so I don't forget...

World of difference!

The answers I received to questions posted on Shooters'Forum made all the difference for me last year. So I'd have to say this forum was the one thing that truly helped me improve.

Keeping my bow arm steady.
Still learning though. Next up is the video of my shooting and getting some knowledgeable people to look at it. Mostly I can trace any poor shot to my bow arm. Funny that idea of denying yourself the shot. Probably be a good thing in the end, but oh my, the frustration, which is the point...

for me shooting spots at 3 to five yards which allows me to work on my release, keep my arm steady and follow through.

This keeps things automatic when shooting at 20-30 yards so the only thing i think about is the shot, nothing else

I would have to say, using my back to pull through the shot.
