Not going to be easy

[MCNSC]

Fred Ashbels Instinctive Shooting book is good. I dont use his style but there are a lot of good pointers in the book. More than anything it makes you think of what you are doing. When you have bad days, and you will have bad days, it helps to think about your shot sequence dont just keep slinging arrows. Try to figgure out what is going wrong. My shooting improved (and I am no great shot by any streach)when I could, after shooting a bad arrow know what probably caused it and correct it on the following shots.
 With that said,when I picked up a recurve my idea was to shoot one deer with it. Thats been about 15 years ago and never took a compound to the woods again.
Good luck...Mike

If it helps. When I get outside in the spring to start getting ready for hunting. ( I shoot all year ) I do the best when I shoot just one arrow. Then think about my form, and what I did wright or wrong. On the arrow retrieve. As I try to shoot say 5 arrows at the deer target. By the 4th & 5th arrow. I can see things starting to open up. This causes frustration for me. You cant force the arrow into the target. You must will it to go there.

This what I like to see..Folks practicing now for next season.Thanks for not being new to trad,picking up a bow and heading out all within a month.        

By next season you'll be proficient with your setup to at least 20 yards.It's tough starting out but you'll get there.We all had to walk that same road but it's worth it for sure.Put the time in to practice,blank bail,and ask plenty of tuning questions.

Find large concrete wall. Step foward, pound head repeatedly. Step back, ask self why? Welcome to traditional archery!!

Nothing is ever easy, but the end justifies the means. Congrats to you and working your way up to shooting properly.

Since all great advice has been given. Just give your arms and shoulders a rest in between. Just like lifting weights.
