I found something that is helping me shoot better. I am sure this is nothing new, but it is really helping me. I have been shooting my new bow at a cardboard box filled with blankets. I noticed that little by little, I am getting better. Today, I got tired of hearing the same sound, whether I hit what I was aiming at or not. THUD.........THUD........THUD....
I grabbed a used water bottle and put it against the cardboard box. 1st shot: THUD... Second shot: THWACK.... I killed it. I realized that by using the water bottle, my learning became not only visual, but audible. When I connected with a THWACK.. instead of a THUD... it was instant reward. Kind of like shooting free throws on the court. Today the THWACK was like the SWISH of shooting hoops.
I am sure that someone is going to think I am full of BS, but I am 100% positive that if you can combine visual with audible confirmation that you hit the target, it will improve you.
