I have started having some difficulty at long range shooting, 60+ yards. I know it is my form! I can't figure out what I'm doing? There are know shooting coaches in my area that I'm aware of. I did buy a small camcorder to tape myself to figure this out. Could some of you guys recommend some good coaching vids or books? Thanks!

I don't know where to look but if you could find the Al Henderson articals in the archives of archery/bowhunting world that would help. I had them all cut out and filed and if my shooting started suffering I would get them out and read them and I would always shoot better afterwards. Al would tell you whatever problems you are having at 60 are present at 10...possibly worse at 10. Trying to do what you need to shoot better makes you worse...learning the tricks to get you to do what you need to do is the key. For instance, never try to pull through the shot...instead pull you draw arm elbow backwards through the shot. Not backwards in line with the arrow but perpendicular to the arrow straight behind your back. Follow through will be perfect.
