Do just like some of them said, start close to the target, and work your way back, make sure your arrows are tuned to the bow, make sure your brace ht. is where it should be,
This is really going to sound stupid, but when I'm practicing, or shooting for a while, I get in my head that I have " a grizzly bear " in front of me, that's what I invision as my target, I focus on one arrow at a time, I never shoot more than three, but "the grizzly bear" really makes me concentrate, because actually, you are only going to get one-shot. And that's all you need, one good shot after another, not 200 of them, maybe 10 or 12 a one a day. But the " grizzly bear" works for me.
The key thing, it's made me do, is focus, and you need to focus on what you can do, not what you are not doing right, focus on the things that you are doing right, and work on it, they will become stronger, and your weaknesses will become weaker.
One other thing I did, I purchased a Bob Lee, and a "whip" my grip is always the same on both of them. And that is very important.
It's taken me about three years to get to the point where I'm at. I was mediocre until I started focusing,
By the way, I did go back to compound in between those three years, and then I made the full choice, I purchased to compound in October 2007, " just in case" I used it maybe five times, it was in my closet for about three to four months, I SOLD it a month ago, best choice I ever made.
I work in a bow shop, so far, but I hear all the stories about the gizmos break-in, and are not cheap. In fast sometime in yourself and your bow, you won't regret it.
One other thing, make sure you're not over Bowing yourself !
