All excellent tips. I too like shooting very long ranges. Its not only challenging, its a lot of fun as well. Plus, it can also help you with the bow's tune.

One thing I really concentrate on when shooting targets is back tension. Even with a wrist strap release, I use back tension to "squeeze" the shot off. I've found that since I started doing this a couple years ago, I can shoot longer and more accurately. If the weather is crappy and cant get outside, I shoot a lot at a blank bale as well, just to work on release execution.

I actually just ordered a new release to try,a Carter Quickie Plus. It has zero trigger travel and a set of swappable springs to adjust trigger weight. I'm going to see if I can shoot more "pure" back tension with type of release.

Just as important as a solid anchor and clean release is perfect form after the shot.You have to have good follow-thru if you want to be a good archer.

Do not "hold" the grip on the riser after you draw back. If you do you can torque the bow during the release and cause a bad shot. I myself am still trying to get used to a bow sling and letting the bow "fall" after the shot.

Above all else, maintain the sight picture (pin on the intended point of impact) -from the moment of release until the arrow strikes the target.
