accuracy with recurve/longbow?

[mmwb]

Great thread. Watch your form for consistency. Talk yourself through everyonce in awhile to be sure you are doing what you need to. Pick a spot. Draw to anchor. Good release. Some find concentrating on drawing by pulling the back muscles and shoulder blades together beneficial. Others find that pushin the bow hand toward the target as they concentrate on the spot to help. Follow through--maintain form until the arrow penetrates the target. Grab a friend and get in the woods and stump shoot. Guy who hits closest to the called target (stump, grass clump, etc...) gets to call the next shot. Make most of the shots within a range you are fairly accurate at, and then take the occasional fun shot further out. It'll give you practice in the hunting setting, not knowing actual distances, and will prepare you for a shot on an animal.
