20 yards is killing me

[longbow fanatic 1]

I've been at this since 2008. I'm still struggling to keep all my arrows within the  NFAA indoor target four ring, which is my self appointed  concept of 20 yard accuracy.

Went to one arrow th as t helps and saves my shoulders and elbows. Stepping it up to 25 to see if it will improve my 20. Set ng deer stands up with sub 15 yard groups. I will use this bow this weekend. I  shooting way better at 20 now but I'm hitting low and having a hard time getting my self to hit 4 inches higher. Thanks for the help guys.

Not sure if you're shooting instinctively, but if so, one routine that really helps me is to spend a few rounds staggering distances. Take a handful of arrows and shoot one from 15, then move to 20, 25, 30, etc. This really helps to train your brain when it comes to calculating and adjusting to different distances. Also, the smaller the target the better for developing your hand-eye. A tennis ball always works well.

I agree with the last 3 posts longer yardages make you better in form errors and makes that 20yd shot look like 10. only thing I would add is having a really big back stop. that back stop will make you think of one less thing and that is losing arrows no one likes to lose arrows and that can play a big role in shot placement
