Welcome to traditional archery. I still consider myself a beginner at it because I am not as experienced as many of the guys on here and I still haven’t taken a deer with my recurve but here’s a few things that have helped me become a better shooter. 1. Relax and slow down. When I find that I am shooting poorly it is typically because I am too focused on just winging another arrow at the target to make up for a poor shot. 2. If that doesn’t help, put the bow down and shoot again tomorrow. Getting frustrated will make it less enjoyable. 3. Sounds silly, but I try to pretend my 3d deer is the real thing and every shot is a real opportunity to harvest a deer. Good luck and don’t give it up if you don’t feel successful at first. I have been shooting for five years roughly, exclusively traditional for two years and I am still waiting to take a deer with my equipment.
