I am new to this other than shooting a bear compund as a youngster. I have been shooting a Martin X200 for afew months. I am all over the place. Does anyone know anyone in the northern VA area who gives lessons. Thanks.
I live in Marshall.Got a shooting range in markham.Give me a pm and we can get together.
Look up the the NFAA and then go to the state of VA, they will show you a listing of bow clubs in the state. I think there was a club in your home town area. VA is the best state for the number of clubs and I am sure you will be able to connect with several other traditional hunters / shooters in the area for help...
Now for anyone new to shooting I suggest the following tips
1. start close to the target 10 yards
2. work on form
a. make sure you come to a good ancor point each time
B. good solid stance
c. good follow thru upon release ( keep thje bow arm up till you see the arrow hit the target.)
d. most key- pick a spot you want to hit or aim small miss small

It is written as a college course in archery, by excellent coaches.
