Re: Different type of grouping but still shooting.

Kurt watch some of videos from world archery cup that should give you a good idea of what proper form is.

Marvin you might want to start shooting at different spots on the target. With the way your shooting you are gonna wreck an arrow with a robin hood. Good shooting.
