Right now just want to concentrate on getting my aim and arrow flight correct. This will take some time to accomplish. I may ask some stupid questions on this site so I hope everyone can be understanding.

You are not alone. I have shot an arrow or two and each day a fiery passion drives me to make time to loose another.

Welcome!!!!

You'll not meet a kinder or more generous group of archers anywhere.  Spend some time exploring this site.  The knowledge here is endless.

An important principle: Forget about what it sounded like to shoot an arrow from your machine bow.  I have noticed that new shooters want the arrow to go as fast as the wheels send them. I am convinced the sound is more responsible for this than watching the flight of the arrow. The way the "release to target" sounds is burned into their mind. When this happens they tend to over compensate by drawing further or faster than they should. Or they draw just plain wrong-- they simply try too hard. This throws them all off. Get used to the sweet sound traditional archery.
