It just seems the more I shoot, and get older ( now 69 ) I just seem to have more fun. I shoot both the compound and recurve bow.
I have been shooting about a 1/2 hour a day with the recurve and my plan it finally to get good enough to take a deer this fall.
Seem strange but have about 40+ deer with the bow ( compound ), but have in the past put away the recurve when it came to hunting. I just did not want to stick one in the butt.
But I now have started getting good groups of arrows from 10 to about 22 yards. Now what I found was the suggestions from this site about 4 months ago, someone said how they shot was to just shoot 1 arrow and then take a few steps back and shoot another arrow. So that you continue to have a new look at the target with each shot.
The other was not only to pick that spot on the target but to work just on form. I found this was key to me, I started with a blank bale and just would draw, lock in, pick that spot, release and keep that bow arm up till I saw the arrow hit the spot I had aimed at. The blank bale seemed to help me more than anything to get over early release ( target panic )
The other actvity I have been doing was just once a week Is I have some old wood arrows with blunts. I walk the back ridge and shoot at stumps.
So you guys that some days want to just toss the trad bow away there is hope for all of us.
