Practice! You do not need top of the line equipment, you just have to be able to shoot what you have consistantly.

well matched equipment does perform better for a shooter. but you dont need all the new items. just go with what works consistantly. if you add a new item to your bow say every 4 months, you will have a good accessories when its time for you to buy a new a bow. then you simply remove the new gear and put them on your new bow.

1st thing is make sure your equipment fits you perfectly. good shooting form is the base of a good shooter. a proper fitting bow will allow you to repeat good shooting form the exact same way each time.

evaluate your stance, grip, bow arm, draw length, draw weight and shot exectution. this leads to a proper shooting form. if you dont have anyone to teach you good shooting form, there are many DVDS on the market that can help. but its best to have a person that knows what there talking about to help you if you have that available.

Practice is good, but you need to have structured perfect practice. what this is, is practice sessions set up to work on a certain thing on your shooting form. these practice sessions must be set up with what you want to accomplish each and every time.

too many guys think if they just shoot a lot of arrows they will get better. but this is wrong. if your doing somthing wrong and you do it over and over again, it only reinforces the bad way to shoot. which makes it harder to break a bad habit.

once you start getting your shooting form to be consistant, then you can work on shot execution. what this is, is how you shoot the shot. do you punch the trigger, or do you squeeze the trigger. or do you use Back Tension and allow the shot to completely surprise you.

what i did is get some great help from a bunch of local guys, and some Video tapes.

if you ask specific questions we can help you. try posting a picture of you shooting at a target at shoulder level at full draw. the target your aiming at MUST be at shoulder level. other wise if you aim at a target low, it will make the picture of you at full draw look like you off enter.

hope this helps.

well i shoot a pse triton with a pro hunter micro sight because my riser is so small. i had a really good site but it was too big and i could only shoot up to thirty yards. i also have a aae lightning rest. my peep is a g5 1/4 inch. i think my problem is my bow. its a small axel to axel and a small riser. i am thinking about getting a mathews and a sur lock site.

Like Tony said it's more about form and perfect practice than the bow...While I do agree that a longer Axle to Axle bow shoots better you can shoot a short bow good too if you do everything right. My hunting setup this year is a Bear TRUTH, 33" Axle to Axle, and I can shoot 4" & 5" groups with it out to 60yds if I do my part on the shot and follow through like I'm suppose to. I am switching back to shooting a HOYT again next year and it'll be a longer bow, something in the 36" to 38" range. The key to good shooting is a well tuned bow and good form and shot execution.....Gear doesnt have as much to do with it as some people think.
