Actually, the most important thing anybody ever told me about learning to shoot the bow happened long before I ever shot an arrow.  The advice was when learning something new, get the best training you can find.  Learning to do something correctly from the start will save you years of fumbling around and having to unlearn your mistakes.
Very good post as well!

Push your bow arm toward the target through release and til arrow reaches target.
(Basically, keep a strong, firm bow arm, don't allow it to collapse at the shot)

Seems to be a common response, so must work.  :goldtooth:

finding out about Rick Welch, and adopting his method of shooting.
absolute game changer for me- saw my groups halve within an hour of using his system!

Look at the spot where you want the arrow to go and then put it there.

I was not taught to gap shoot. I tried it for a while years ago and I couldn't hit a thing.

 Start close like feet not yards until you get a nice group.

Biggest single thing I was ever told was by an ole timer I just met by chance when I first got into bowhunting. Honestly didn't think much of it at the time, but as the years roll by the more I appreciate what he said and I think about it every time I hit the timber.

Nobody honestly cares if u get a buck or not. Hunt for yourself just because you want to. Bowhunting is about choices, make good choices and live with them!

The most important for me was to shoot with someone who knows what they are doing.  I fumbled a bit trying to figure things out, teaching myself bad habits in the process.

I met some guys in NY who greatly reduced my learning curve and got ahead of major frustration caused by simple easy to fix issues. 

2 members here deserve a major thank you!  Ron W and Kat. There were more guys as I became more involved but these guys were able to help in a huge way.

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.
