Numbering your arrows is an easy way to identify a flawed arrow. Often in practice you will find that one of your arrows in each set is slightly out of your group. If your arrows are numbered its easy to identify if its the same number each time that's out of the group. You know then its time to set that one aside for tuning later.

Remember the key to good shooting is consistency. Do not concentrate on just hitting the target,pay attention to shooting form, anchor point, pre shot routine and a consistent release, fingers or release aid.

When you practice shoot from farther distances.  If you can hit your target consistently at longer distances it builds confidence and keeps your form in check.  At longer distances flaws in form really show up.  Please don't misinterpret my comments as saying it is alright to take longer shots at game.  Only you know where your comfort zone is and we must all stay within them. -John Samsill

Finding your dominate eye -

• Extend both hands in front your body and place the hands together making a small triangle.

• With both eyes open, look through the triangle and centre something, such as a doorknob or the bullseye of a target in the triangle.

• Now, slowly bring your hands toward your face while continuing to look at the object with both eyes open. When your hands touch your face, the triangle opening should be in front of your dominant eye. Repeat the above tests a number of times to satisfy yourself that you are sure which eye is your dominant eye. Right eye dominant people should partake in all shooting sports as right-handed participants. Left eye dominant people should participate as left-handed participants. Exceptions can be made to this general rule, but most of the exceptions have to do with physical adversities.
