Master Your Shot Process & Shoot More Accurately (Full Breakdown) | FRIDAY KILL NOTES

from The Archery Project · host Zakk Plocica

Your bow can be perfectly tuned and still throw random arrows if your shot process changes from one rep to the next. We get real about the hardest part of archery: consistency. I walk through the shot sequence I rely on when I’m trying to tighten groups on the range and carry that calm, repeatable execution into bowhunting season. If you’ve ever blamed your gear for a flyer, this conversation is a reset back to the basics that actually move the needle.We start with the foundation: stance, posture, and keeping that front shoulder down and out. From there, we dig into grip pressure and why adjusting your bow hand at full draw creates instant inconsistency. I also share the release aids I shoot and why release choice is personal, whether you’re running a thumb button, index release, hinge, or resistance style. The goal is not chasing the “best” release, it’s finding what fits your hand and building a repeatable process around it.Then we get into the mental side of shooting a compound bow. Peep sight alignment has to be the same every time, and your pin will always float. I explain how trusting that float helps you avoid rushing, punching the trigger, and building target panic. On execution, I share the cue that’s been helping me lately: combining steady pull with a controlled “squeeze” on the thumb barrel so the shot still surprises me and follow-through stays clean.If you want tighter groups, fewer bad habits, and a shot process that holds up under pressure, hit play.
