Stance, Relax, see the spot, back tension, let the shot happen by itself, follow through. It really works great if you do all of them during the same shot.

BLANK BALE
Shooting at a blank bale (surface with no target), will greatly enhance your shooting form and mechanics of your shot. I mean like at least 50 arrows a day for a month or so. Do it a lot. As far as equipment, string loops help, a well-tuned arrow rest (drop away or not), good arrows (straight, same weight) and a smooth release whatever that takes (back tension, etc.). A good attitude and the ability to forget the shot you just executed. Each shot is independent of the previous. There's a lot of little things that can help, but those are the main ones I can think of right now.

A positive attitude. I have been shooting with a positive attitude and got 3 arrows in a 1/2 inch circle. I also have shot with a negative attitude and got 3 arrows in a 12 inch group.

Consistant form would promote consistant accuracy.. It doesn't even have to be correct form just consistant. If you can do it the same way everytime, you will be accurate.. [&o]
