shot, and taught archery (to my boy scouts) for a number
of years. to get started, look for a local archery club---they
will offer you a bow to shoot and help you decide what size
of bow to buy---you can waste a lot of money without some
sound advise.

My main advise would be to shoot instictive---not with sights.

If you can pick up a rock and hit something you can shoot
instinctive--there are no sights on a rock...

because you were born with two eyes, they adjust your brain
on distance....just stop and concentrate----then pull up and
lock it in on your chin....smooooooth release....
it takes a lot of practice, so don't try to start with to ,many pounds
of pull---50 or less is better.....you will find a lot of muscles you
have not used for a long time.
