Like stated practice at longer ranges. Your groups at 60yds will get tighter. I practice a 90yds all summer. When hunting season comes I'm very proficient to 60yds. I've been shooting a bow for 36yrs and I've shot three animals at 60yds. It makes your 40yd shots seem like 20.

I'm really looking forward to shooting that new Matthews. I really hate buying new bows. They are expensive and I am a tightwad. But its time to do something.
I'm going to sell all of the bows I have and a couple guns that are taking up space in the safe to try and offset the cost.
I have been shooting bows for almost 30 years and I really think the problem exists with this particular bow.

Boom....puller the trigger.
I went to the bow shop and shot them all. Rein 7 Rein 6 Realm, Realm X, Triax
I'm no master but I have shot a bow for 30 years. This one is the best bow I have ever shot.
Is it worth $1000? No. But thats what they cost. I should be good for another 10 years.

I used to shoot lots of tournaments and the.best thing I ever did was to start shooting from 60 to 100 on a regular bases. I have two of the same removable sights and just switch them out. I concentrate on making 10-20 great shots instead of just flinging arrows down range.
Sometimes it can be as easy as practicing with someone you know is better than you. It can be a head game.I recently shot at a 3D shoot with a competitive archer. He was shooting a range bow and I had my hunting setup. At the halfway point I had 3 10?s and I finished the second half with only 4 targets that I didn?t get a 10 on. Also practicing with others simulates just a little bit of the pressure at game time.
