its funny this topic came up, just this week i've had a h@#$ of a time shooting. i really had to look at my shooting and i realized i wasn't comign to full anchor even though i thought i was. i'm sure every little thing has an effect, but for me the single biggest concern is coming to full anchor.

Well I have to think about all aspects of the shot and I'm having trouble with more than one right now. The biggest thing I'm having trouble with now is getting a good pull through release. That and proper alignment and back tension help me shoot down the middle more than anything else.

Making the entire shot process from grip of the bow through release become an instinctive part of the experience. That's why I shoot instinctive! :eek:
:D

Well no doubt you can't lack in any area of the shot process for consistency. I found by video taping my shot that on the one's that got away I was dropping my bow arm. But aside from a screw up like that I find just like the others stated my best shooting happens when I do very little thinking. Unless I'm trying not to think, in which case I think even more about trying not to think...I hate it when that happens.

Believe you can hit what your aiming at, it may sound cocky, but I KNOW I can hit it.

make sure my grip on the bow is the same every time, chin to shoulder of bow arm, focus on target, reach my primary anchor point, release just as i touch my secondary anchor point, follow through to the shoulder, rinse repeat
