iv been noticing that my 1st 5 shots are usually the best. so my current method has been to pin a small balloon 3-4" or so on the target and when it pops.... im done. some times it takes 1 shot,sometimes 7or8 depending on my ability to concentrate at that particular moment in time.

I enjoy shooting at things like balloons, playing cards, magazine pictures of deer, just about anything to make me pick a spot and have fun with.

When you first start shooting after a period of abstinence you need to grow more callous on your fingers. Until then try some athletic tape on the fingers under the glove. Gary

Guys thanks alot, I ordered a 3-Fingers Under Cordovan Tab tab to try that out. See if that helps if not a Big Shot Buffalo Glove. Also I am going to check my form and fingers on the string. I am going to try stump shooting that sounds like fun. It will be hard to find a place to do that in Miami,Fl but I will find a place. I think I will be trying to shoot around 30 arrows a few times a week.

After an hour or so of constant shooting IMHO you will lose good form and finger control(will make for a sloppy hold)Take time to shoot a few well conducted shots(12-24 arrows) and go in till the next day.And a good glove will do wonders for your fingers.

I'm a 3 under guy too. Have used a Neet pinch free tab for years. First arrow is the one that matters. Rest is to practice form. Usually shoot a dozen or so take a break then go for more. Can't shoot enough! Brain usually numb before fingers!
