Laura don't worry so much about having great accuracy just yet. While it is a very important part of archery even more important is proper form. When I first started shooting a trad bow I didn't know about this forum and really only had one person to help me, but I didn't really start hanging around him until a year after I started shooting. I learned how to shoot all the wrong ways focusing on accuracy and developed some bad habits that thanks to my friends help and LOTS of proper practice with the proper form went away. It took me close to 3 years from the time I started shooting to break all those bad habits and develop good form and consistently good accuracy. If I had done right as I know now and focused on form first I probably could have been shooting with a pretty good form within a year and been pretty accurate. I am just very thankful for my friend's patience and tutelage, because of his help I have been shooting now for going on 8 years accurately and consistently.
