If you had one word (sentence to be precise) of wisdom to pass on to future Trad Archers what would you say ?
For myself
Concentrate on using your back muscles to draw the bow from the very start of the draw, everything else will follow

Just because you drew the bow doesn't mean to have to shoot the arrow.

Building on what Jim said, if you learn to control the bow so you only shoot shots when you are ready, not before, you can learn to shoot as well as 90% of the people out there.  The other 10% is genius, which we all have in varying degrees.
