What have U done to improve

[LongStick64]

What are some of your tools to improvement ?

For me what has really helped to sharpen my form
has been

1. Dropping bow weight, now most of my shooting is done at 43-53 lbs. I can shoot all day and keep my form consistent.

2. Increased FOC on my arrows. My arrows are flying extremely well with the added weight up front.

3. Eliminate tension by keeping my biceps relaxed when drawing the bow.

Dropping bow weight, and slowing down the shot have both helped me. Bill

Holding for at least 2 seconds at full draw.

[MercilessMing]

Slow down the draw, don't rush to shoot.

Got a set of 35# limbs just to work on my form and shot sequence.

light weight bow helps reviel form issues as well as release the lighter the bow draw the more crucial your release .

[TheFatboy]

Not much else than analyzing and corregating my mistakes. Nothing is more important than knowing, accepting and working on what you're doing wrong. Mostly, I know. I can feel if I torqued the bow, torqued the string, did not follow through, did not focus, et cetera...

A long winter has made me a bit sloppy though  :D

Teaching myself how to relax and relieve nervous tension while shooting.

[Rob DiStefano]

stop thinking during shooting and allow the good instincts i've garnered for decades to take over and make the shot for me.

Getting my shoulders in line and pulling through to release or expanding to release. (Whichever one the proper discription would be)

Met a couple of like-minded old farts and get together and shoot for an hour every morning at 7:00 before work.  Shooting regularly, including stump-shooting at mostly unknown distances, knowing that people are watching me shoot, has done a lot for my shooting and concentration.  It's kind of hard to tell when I'm actually out there shooting with them, because I seem to miss a lot of shots, but when I shoot at my 22 yard range at home, I can really see the improvement.

I'm with Rob on this. I tell myself before every shot is to think not to think. I shoot instinctively and if you start thinking it's all over. It took a little while to fully trust in my instincts but when i did it made concentrating on what i'm looking at alot easier.

[Ravenhood]

I have a higher percentage of time spent on working on shooting. Not just flinging arrows.

[MAGICMAN]

Found a great coach to observe what i was doing wrong. Its amazing what some one else will find that you didnt realze you were doing! Went to Rick welch shooting school & loved it! My shooting has come full circle!

[firsted]

Having my wife standing next to me while I'm shooting, telling me that the trash needs to be taken out, clean the litter box, etc.  If I can shoot w/those distractions, I'm good to go!
No, really, just slowing down the draw, aligning the shoulders, and letting the shot shoot itself.  Also, the second ancho point.  Still quite a ways to go but info from this site has been a tremendous boon for me.  Thanks to all you xprts.

I am shooting a Paper Punching Winter Archery League. The harder i try the worse I do. Terry is right. Just let it happen . I shoot point of aim and when I over aim my groups go south. When I draw to target and let it happen my groups tighten up and I shoot better scores. Take care, Randy

Drawing the bow slowly. Pressing my hand firmly into my anchor point to keep from plucking and increase steadiness.Taking the time to let the bow become stationary before the release. In general, just slowing everything down.

[reddogge]

For me two things:
1. Using an alignment tool like an arrow on the ground so I align myself square to the target.  I found my alignment getting sloppy, too open or closed causing bad releases.
2. Rembering to pull, pull, pull and release.  A good release causes my hand to move straight back and the arrow always is in line.

Switching from right handed to left.

[azhunter]

1. Double anchor
2. Back Tension
3. Close bale shooting with no target just working on form and feeling the shot
