*nodnod* That will do at least. I have been practising the last couple of days. It's strange, sometimes I feel I've improved a lot and then the next round I can't get anywhere near bulls eye.

Yeah that's happened to me a lot before ... I think it's either cos you're too happy about the previous round and you end up messing up, or you just simply got tired  _________________

Lol, it is pretty exciting actually hitting what you aimed for!!
But I have to admit that i actually more often hit the target when I am relaxed and sort of ...'humble' with my shot... also I realized how much the the mind influences on me. If I don't believe I can hit anything, I don't.

True to that ... you can't hit anything at all if you're all tense and shakey _________________

Yep, I agree completely. When I do competitions and stuff, I just have to concentrate on my form and what I'm doing, and not think about anything else. Otherwise I get all jittery and don't do well.

^Yeah that's the good way to do it
And never focus directly on the bullseye. You'll always be at least a bit off if you do. _________________

Yes, you just have to get it generally and if you have good form and everything is set right, everything will just fall into place.

I have a compound bow with a stabilizer at school. I own an olympic/recurve bow, and all it has is a sight _________________
