    I am on the mend from a rugby injury as posted a year earlier.
    With exercises and shooting small bits to build up muscle strength I am now able to shoot 50 arrows with my bow set to 60#.
    From my 5th set (25arrows) to 50 arrows my accuracy falls away.
    I shot 30 arrows and asked my wife to take a pic of my form.

    Excuse the open mouth. I use my lip on the vane as an anchor point.
    Please could you help out in where I am going wrong. I know my hand is not in position.
    I seem to be leaning back quite a lot.

    Thank you in advance.

    Try pushing your bow hand through to the target it looks like you have your bow hand shoulder pinched up relax it and push your hand to the target

    I would say set your head straight, and bring the bow to you don't go to it. also try to keep your shoulders over your stance. also focus on your grip walk yourself through your form every shot even if its your first shot or your 50th shot.

    Your form may not be perfect as they say but we're all not randy ulmer it's more important to do it consistently don't worry about how many arrows you shot rather how many you shot well when it starts to get sloppy stop shooting be patient it will come back to you in. Time.make up a game but shot for fun it will take some of the mental pressure off you and continue filming yourself.you will comeback stronger and better good luck

    imho you're better off not shooting that many. I grab the bow several times throughout the day and do short rounds of 15-20 or so.
