Long Distance Archery or TAC Practice

I’m now fighting my anchor so that’s awesome. I have opened up about 8” at 100. I’ll fight that for the next few days. Then I’ll remember just to shoot. I really need a canyon pounder….

8” at 100 yards sure ain’t shabby!!!!
 
I’ve noticed much more consistent grouping pulling hard into the wall and concern on new t punching but pulling through while just looking at the center of the bag at 90 yards. If I’m trying to keep the pin steady my shot anticipation goes through the roof. Im sometimes seeing no pin up or around but instead of fighting that im concentrating on seeing the pin in the periphery of my scope but im focusing on the center of the bag but thinking about my release. That seems to improve my shooting at 90.IMG_3589.jpeg
 
Notice those three outside to the left outside the other three grouped nicely. I think this is being tired and Getty lazy on my shot process due to fatigue. These were shot last Thursday I think.
 
Those are some really good groups! Staying on the wall will definitely help overall. Joel Turner explains the back end (release hand) really well.
 
Well apparently I had two things going on. I re established my anchor. I guess I was applying pressure with with pointer finger on my bow hand as well. Here is an 80 yard group after I figured I’m being ridiculous.

It's a Nexus 2.
I absolutely love the feel of the bow,, how it holds on target, the draw cycle. Pretty much everything about it...
Other than I can't get it to tune. I'm hoping the limbs just need swapped around? I've tried everything else I know how to do.

Bare shaft at 70 is really hard. That’s impressive! :grinning:

Not quite!
I was paper tuning when I lost 1 and the other one I was dumb enough to keep trying to figure $h!t out at 30 yards...

It'll stabilize arrows with fletching but I can tell they're kicking...
I know as of now broadheads are definitely a no-go !
 
On difficult bows I bare shaft at 8 yards, paper a fletched arrow and then go right to broadhead. Walk that bh back to at least 40 yards. Then I’d check the bare shaft at distance.
 
Would I be right that you long distance guys focus on the target not the pin? I've been saying I'm going to stretch it out, and season is coming so I gotta get back to making time to shoot! Doing just fine at 30 and in which is my hunting max ( for now anyway, not that I am going to get silly here)
 
Generally, target is better than the pin. I have a really hard time with that so I do look at the pin. Then again, with a recent head injury I can’t focus on anything for more than a few seconds. My eyes now jump from pin to target. I’m rambling so, look at the target.

Shooting compound I always look at the pin until it is on target then focus only on the target while getting into shot break.
