Finally!! After flinging literally thousands of arrows - mostly in my backyard 17 yard range, I am consistently shooting three inch groups centered on the quarter sized bulls eye. I just shot over 50 arrows and not one was more than 5 inches from the bulls eye. I know that may be mediocre shooting for most of you, but for me...I am so buzzed and just wanted to share this with some one - especially people out there who may be experiencing frustration with an apparent lack of progress. Stick with it, find a mentor(s), join a club, participate in Tradgang, read books, etc. - and above all - keeping shooting - everyday. Even if you feel it will never happen, just shoot through it. It will happen. Special kudos to Byron Ferguson and my personal mentor, Rick Youngs of Sylvanl Archers.
