Improving My Accuracy

I found this video the other day that I thought had some good tips for helping me to get started shooting accurately.  I've only tried it for a few days, but I've already found a few things that I really like from this video.  The first thing that helped me was to make sure that the sight pins are positioned in the same place every time when looking through the peep sight.  Prior to this video I thought the best way to shoot was to try and center the sight pin in the peep sight opening.  By positioning the sight with a consistent location and then moving the whole bow to center the current sight pin on the target I am able to get a much more consistent shot.  The second thing that has already helped me is the suggestion to find a consistent anchor point between my head and my draw hand that I get to by moving the bow to my head instead of my head to my bow.  From these two tips I have been able to shoot much more consistently.  I still have a long way to go to create solid habits and shoot accurately from longer distances.  Using this video, I feel like I am able to be more aware of how different things I do during my pull, hold and release affect my shot.  I will continue to monitor and improve my shot, and with the help of this video I feel like I have the tools available to me to be ready by fall.  Thanks Sean.
