I bought a couple books on shooting so that I could try and avoid some of the bad habits that people develop. Form seems to be huge in being consistent. I know that the first bows I shot I slapped the crap out of my arm because I wasn't holding the bow correctly, learned that one quickly because that string slap hurts.

IF you haven't looked at archerytalk yet I recomend it. A huge amount of info on there. From how to shoot to equipment etc. It has been fun learning, wish I had picked it up years ago but better late than never. I practice most every day. Only days I don't shoot a little are the days I am at work, so I shoot 2 out of three days usually. Good luck.
