Ian it really depends on your shooting style. I shoot instinctive, by feel. I pick a spot and concentrate on it, draw my bow, and when my brain says the time is right, I release. If the shot does not feel "right", I don't take it. The way I work up with any new bow is to shoot one arrow at 10 yards. Then move back a few steps and shoot another. Then back a few more steps and shoot another. I keep this up until I hit a range where I do not consistently hit. My max comfortable range with most of my bows is 30 yards. With that in mind I set most of my stands and ground blinds up with a max 25 yard shot distance in mind. For example, I very rarely set a stand on the edge of a food plot or field. I prefer to set my stand on a trail back off the edge of the field in an area where the longest shot I will be offered is 25 yards or less.

There's no "quick" fix. How many more pounds does your bow pull than what you're used too?

My biggest problem with consistance at longer ranges is keeping my bow arm solid. I have to REMEBER to push through my shot because it is not second nature yet. I wish someone could tell me how to get it to be second nature.

8 POUNDS IS A BUNCH. Start pulling the bow to anchor with no arrow on the string and hold as long as you can. Do this several times a day, you will build up quick.
Once you are comfortable with the weight you shooting should get better.

Some of you may need to avert your eyes or block your ears as you read this:
See what happens if you play around with using your arrow tip as a reference. It might not work for you, but it's worth a crack.
