got mine already to practice some...first time out to test my compound this year...hope I can do it.
Doreen, the key to hitting where you aim consistently is to shoot consistently, do everything the same every time; the proper term is form. It's the same for a compound or recurve, which is why I spent the last 3 weeks shooting from only 3 feet from the target with either my eyes closed or looking at the arrow; just working on my form so I could do it naturally. After shooting a lot today it has really made a difference.The best thing you could do would be to find someone to show you the basics in person, either a lesson from a coach, or find an archery range where you could watch other shooters and probably find a person willing to help you out. Otherwise there's lots of websites and videos to learn from , and remember that there is no "right way" with archery, just remeber to be consistent and do what feels right and is most comfortable. Here's a couple good ones that cover the basics:http://www.pvoltmer.com/websites/tutorial%20site/index.html#4http://www.archerygold.com/shooting-compound.html
