I’m not trying to criticize anyone, but while there’s a lot of info to be gained from guys like Dudley who produce incredibly helpful and informative videos, there’s really no replacement for getting a proper foundation for your form and shot process from a qualified coach.
I see so many people at the range with bad form and shot processes. Guaranteed all of these guys are self taught. These same guys may be able improve by becoming aware of an issue that they might see in a video and recognize they have, but they’re oblivious to many other issues they have. By the same token, I’ve seen people who got started in archery with a lesson, and they quickly become very good. Any newer bow / sight that someone can buy right now is inherently easy to shoot and accurate, but people impede their ability to take advantage of how forgiving and good the equipment is when they begin shooting and practicing/reinforcing bad habits.
Again, I’m not trying to be critical of anyone who uses online content or produces it, but I think so many people would see a huge jump in their ability to be accurate at any distance if they spent a few bucks on coaching. The best athletes in the world at their sports still all have coaches.
