How many of us are guilty of over thinking our shot?
Ive been struggling some here lately with my consistency, so, as ive always done before, i started picking my form apart, bow arm, hold, anchor, grip, release, ETC. Well tonite after much frustration, I just said to my self, just pick a spot and shoot the damn target! Well it worked!, seems ive been shooting the bow and not the target. Ive been so consumed with my form, that shooting the target was second to shooting bow. Good form is invaluable, but it aint squat if you dont pour your heart and soul into picking a spot! :banghead:

Yep, this ain't brain surgery Paul. Try envisioning crosshairs "+" on your spot. Might add, discontinue distance rationing. Just pick a target, zero the crosshairs, & turn it loose! Have fun again!

Im a newbee so it is happening off and on for me right now. As soon as i realize im thinking too much, i think of a movie quoat. "just grip it and rip it" 90% of the time my groups tighten up after that.

I'd suggest that pouring your heart and soul into a methodical, shot sequence to reach proper alignment (or rather perfect form), will put the arrow where it needs to go without worrying too much on the spot.

I'm not guilty. I put in my time on 'the bale' to groove in my shot...to work on form....work on issues I might have.
BUT!!!....when it comes to shooting off the bale....all I am immersed in is aiming...and the subconscious runs the shot. And that works best for me. To go totally brain dead on everything except the spot I want to hit.
I NEVER think about form, or a 'process' when I shoot a critter...when the window opens, I'm programed to shut it.
