    The procedures I follow on the range are always the following standard uniform steps --

    #1 - place my right foot;

    #2 - place my left foot;

    #3 - knock an arrow;

    #4 - hold the string and relax my grip on the bow;

    #5 - seat my grip on the bow and point my thumb and index finger towards the target;

    #6 - raise the bow and aim without drawing on the bowstring;

    #7 - take a deep breath and then relax and let it out;

    #8 - while inhaling deeply, pull back on the string with my back, shoulders, and arm, and bring the string back to my natural locking point on my jaw;

    #9 - aim at the middle of my aiming point;

    #10 - release and continue aiming while I watch the allow fly to the target.

    Thereafter, for the rest of the "end," I keep my feet exactly where they are, and start over with step #3 with a new arrow either from my bow-quiver or from my bucket of arrows nearby.

    This gives me pretty good consistent groups.

    I wonder if anyone else has a predetermined step-by-step method that they follow as well.
