Help On Consistent Shooting

I love EAC. My wife and I get out there and walk the course every couple weeks when I can get her to go. If you have space in your back yard you should buy a shooting block also that way if you dont feel like taking the time to drive you can shoot in your yard. I can get 30 yards in mine then 40 through my carport and 50 yards at the sidewalk  . I mostly just do 20-30 in the yard though. But that way you can shoot whenever you feel like even just a little bit.

Oh tgomez, how do you get the plaque? I want one haha! But also Florida I forgot to mention. If you have not been out to deer park to whitetail plus you should take your bow and make the trip out. Greg is the owner and an awesome guy. I buy everything from him anymore. Great business to support and over the past couple years has turned me into a way better archer.

You get a plauqe by being a member before the season starts, then you tell the clubs management about your bow harvest throughout the year. When have the club banquet in late December then you get a plauqe for EVERY animal u harvested and reported for that year including; turkey, bear, deer, elk, moose, cougar, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, as well as any outfitted hunts you may go on such as grizzly, caribou, red-stag. It's a way for the club to say congradulations on your successful bow kill. PRETTY SWEET!!!!

You need to work on Form and Muscle memory.
FOCUS on how your body feels and where certain parts of your body are located when shooting. CONSISTENCY is key. Video tap yourself shooting. Shoot at 10 yards, get on target aim, then close your eyes and shoot! pay attention to you other senses and how the shot went.

Dang! Never knew that! Never been to the banquet though either.

Just this week I started putting the front tip of my nose directly on the string; combining that with the use of the level on the sight, and a kisser button.  At 50 yards I went from having about a 6-8 inch grouping to a 2-3 inch grouping.  I need to adjust my sights a little bit now; that little bit of an adjustment has me shooting about 6 inches high and to the right, but that's an easy fix.

LeviD 1- Ask Ed Forslof or Garry Joyce about it next time you see them at the range. If you don't know Ed he's the President of the club, and Garry is the treasurer. I believe Garry is the one who has plau
es made. Good luck to you. Trevor

With out seeing you shoot it's hard to say what the problem is. I'd recommend stepping back and shooting farther instead of cranking up your poundage. The heavier poundage will be more likely to make a form problem worse or a bad habit more ingrained. The guys that shoot tiny little groups for money do so because of good form and the shot mechanics being the same on every shot from beginning to end. If poundage were key target bows would be minimum 70 pounds and go up from there, instead of a lot 50-60 pound bows and quite a few lighter ones. I'm pretty comfortable shooting 60 yards but it's because I'll step back and shoot 80 yards or more practicing. Those 80 plus yard groups aren't great but they show me all my flaws and bad habits to work on and make my 60 yard groups a whole lot tighter.

A lot of guys swear by the Whisker biscuit but I messed with one for two years and never got the consistency I wanted. I switched to the Trophy Taker full containment drop away and my consistency went through the roof immediately. I would say my groups were at least half the size after switching and only got better. Tuned bow the same, same arrows etc. I think the shoot through Whisker really magnified errors in my form, I would never go back. Have a great season.

RadSav one of our bow pros uses whisker b rest on some of his bow and told me they shoot out to 60 yrs without a problem
