    If you’re having a consistent flier like I do , I have marked it to make sure if it’s the arrow. Keep it up though you’re doing great 👍

    @Jeffrey I appreciate the pointer, thank you! I have them numbered and need to pay attention to that. I numbered them and then just started shooting. I really, really need to work on being patient with my shots too. I believe my bow is fairly well on, but I’m making mistakes. The last picture in the series, I slowed myself down and focused. Not a superior group compared to a lot of what I see on here, but I was happy knowing that if I keep focused I can get a decent grouping and even hit a corner circle (though it’s right on the edge). I so wish I had gotten into archery a long time ago.

    @Eric 👍 I was fortunate enough to get to meet some amazing shooters at the local archery establishment. I listened and asked tons of questions too. They were very helpful and they stressed my form is one of the most important things to understand. Keep it up man 💪

    Getting closer brotha! Looks like you’re getting dialed in! Good luck and be safe this season!

    @Jeffrey good input and I definitely appreciate it. I am working on it for sure. We will see where I’m at in a month.

    @John thank you, I’m definitely working on it. I notice these little things I’m doing that are throwing me off shot by shot and I need to get to a point where I have all of them fixed at a time. Something has been happening where my sixth shot tends to be the best of the group. I think I look at the previous five, say “this needs to be better” and shoot that last one in the round best.

    @Eric one thing I’ve noticed is string tension when I draw to shoot, too much pressure at my anchor point at my mouth/face, influences to string/aiming point.
