Eight weeks ago I started my 3 to 5m shooting practice. I thought it was going to be the panacea to shooting form improvement through the pandemic. I'm now questioning that thought.
There is something not right and it's proving hard to track down. Form looks really good. The release is smooth and natural. The draw is controlled and draw weight is getting easier. I think it may be equipment related but it could be physical or mental. The problem is, by now, I would have been shooting a lot at 90m. I would know where arrows were going at release. High left/low right, whatever. Now they go in the middle, every one. This sounds good but it isn't. I can see small movement in the arrow impacts but there is no constructive feedback as there is at 90m. I have no way to measure if it is equipment or me. In fact I think it may be doing more damage than good. I may cut down to a couple of times a week or just reversals for now.
