    Glad to say my shooting is already progressing. I bought a new release, Sniper 2, and really like the tighter trigger. I can easily place my finger on the trigger without setting it off. I'm keeping my bow hand open and relaxed and really taking my time and not getting in a rush to do any step. Also not shooting too long, maybe about 20-25 arrows before I quit. Once my shoulder starts getting tired, I quit.

    My groups the past few days were just random, all over the target. Today when I took my time shooting and really concentrated, I shot about a 3, maybe 4 inch group, shooting 6 arrows at a time. (10 or 12 yards) My last set of shots I hit another arrows, messing up the outside. I put an old broadhead on the messed up arrow and put a stalk on a bird. I got about 15 yards from the bird, drew back, and literally hit right under its butt. Oh well, better luck next time.

    Thanks again to everyone for the help!!!!

    The Best advice I can offer on working a release is to concentrate on aiming and just Let the shot happen. Do Not Make it happen :)

    Always keep your practice challenging, but Fun at the same time.
