Title: Frustrated
Post by: BigCountryOK on May 26, 2010, 03:12:00 PM
Hi all.  Newby here.  I've been lurking a bit and have already learned alot but I have along way to go.

I grew up shooting a recurve.  Then went to wheel bow but still shot instintive, then I got all the gadgets and got all messed up.  I've recently decide to get back in to traditional archery after 20yrs.  I've been shooting about 40-100 arrows a day for the past 2 months.  

I've been shooting a D/R longbow 58lb @28 66in.  I started out in my garage and got to where I was busting knocks at 10 yards. As soon as I went outside and stepped back to 12 yards the inconsistancies started.  I would should a good group then just lose it.  Now the good groups are becoming harder and harder to find.  I've decided to put the bow down for 4-5 days and just step back and start over.  I'm not sure where to go from here.  :banghead:

Welcome: I feel your better off shooting 20 good shots per day working on form. Once your tired 30 - 40 arrows form go out the window.
