Im new to trad bowhunting

[YoungGun15]

Im new to trad bowhunting and bowhunting in general,I have no idea what a good form is, What are the basics for a good stance and good form? I have been shooting just what feels natural and my acuracy is OK but i would like to improve it. i heard something about useing the point of your arrow to aim,how does that work? and when i shoot should i shoot field tips or broad heads if im going to hunt?

Use broadheads for hunting and practice enough with them that you know your range limits.As far as form you really need some hands on help. Try to find a group of Trad.archers in your area or attend a shoot.There are some good videos out also.Check the sponsers. There are a lot of folks on here willing to help.Do you have any specific questions?

Sorry I read your post again I see you did ask about useing your point to aim.It never worked for me I think you have to anchor a lot higher than I do. I would have to be 70 or 80 yards to put my point on the target.

Form in traditional archery is a personal thing.  The most important thing is find your most consistent anchor point and concentrate on doing the exact same thing on every shot.  Push the bow toward the target with your bow arm ( sort of like pointing at the target with your index finget), pull  slowly back to your anchor while concentrating on the spot you want to hit. When you find your anchor and everything feels right, just try to pull the bow apart.  By that I mean steady pressure toward the target with the bow arm and pulling the string arm with your back muscles as you relax your fingers.  Keep your head still and follow through.  Try to let the big muscle groups do the work as they are stronger and more stable.
As for form, if no one can give you hands on, try a video.  You have to find a motion that is easy to replicate.  Kind of like swinging a golf club.  It's important not to over bow yourself.  You're not going to be accurate if you have to jerk the string back and let go because you can't hold the weight.  Find a weight that you can control.
I'm just rambling, your best bet is to find someone that has been shooting a while and learn from them.  That's the great thing about this sport, people are usually very willing to help someone get started.
Any specific questions just ask

Randy, I don't know where you live in Alabama but you HAVE to attend some of the 3D shoots held at Tannehill state park (right outside Brimingham) this summer. You will learn alot during those, some of the better shooters and best people you will find. You can get some great advice there .
