How do you bounce back?

[S.Clancy]

Be honest with yourself. Are you putting in the work to make yourself a better shot?

Archery is like golf, everyone, no matter how skilled, will make a poor shot at some point. If you continue to make progress in your skillset and working hard, they will become very infrequent. They will not eliminated. People that shoot, or golf, a lot know this.

 

[LongWayAround]

One thing that I've learned, especially through bowhunting, is that your successes, failures, close calls, etcetera, all become part of a list of things that you have experienced. The experiences are not things that "happened to you" there is no room for a victimized feeling when you fall short and the hubris of success vanishes quickly with the next mistake.
