Long range for consistency
Re: Long range for consistency
I get my close range practice in too. I practice a lot in my garage at 8 yards. I usually vary the distance between groups and sometimes between arrows. I’ve noticed in the past that if I don’t get enough close range work in I tend to miss high. Usually get some rounds in at a 3D range too. Great advise to vary distances frequently. Haven’t lost sight of the goal to be lethal at hunting distances.

I practice shooting randomly around the target in anticipation of the animal randomly jumping at the moment of the shot.

Way to be ahead of the game on those jumpy critters

I have a little foam ball about the size of a ping pong ball hanging in front of my target in the garage that I’ll shoot at while it’s swinging back and forth.

When I get lucky.
Re: Long range for consistency
I really enjoy long range practice. We have a field course and those long range targets, up to 80 yards, can help you see where your form is lacking. I have a tendency to " get lazy " sometimes and not get my left elbow back at full draw. What I mean is, at full draw I don't have a good line from my left elbow to my bow hand. When that happens I shoot left, every time. Long range shots help me recognize that and other aspects of " lazy " form.
Besides that, you also get to watch your arrows fly. Good times.
