How to Shoot a Bow Accurately

Step-by-Step Guide

   Step 2: draw it back ten times an hour until you can easily pull back a 40 or 45 pound draw (most state hunting minimums).

   You must also have the correct field tips.
   
   Make sure they are the same grain as the broad tips you wish to use, so when you sight it in practicing with your field tips, it won't be off when you use a broad head to kill what you are hunting. , Ha! I wish it was that easy, but sadly, it's not.
   
   First, you must have your peep sight adjusted.
   
   If you are using a compound bow, then you should take to a specialist, because if you mess around with it and cut even the slightest strand of the string that you working on, it will rip apart right away, or it will surely break within the next 5-10 shots.
   
   Professionals are trained to detect whether they cut something they shouldn't have before they even draw back. , Then close the away eye and look through your peep sight and at the pin.
   
   Put the end of it over the target and shoot, but hold the bow without moving at all.
   
   Except for letting go of the string, of course.
