We all want to hit what we are aiming at, that's a given. Some of us are content with 'close', but most of us would like to be dead center perfect, every time. After a while we realize that relying on natural skill and luck is unreliable. So why is it that most of us can't be dead center perfect, consistently? Mostly because things change, whether it is an inconsistency in our form or maybe our equipment. Wouldn't you like to know which one it is? Well, so did we.

So, once again, we decided to put our shooting machine, the Hooter Shooter, to the test. And, once again, it proved its reliability. You see, having a shooting machine available, we were finally able to know whether we were having a form problem or an equipment problem, and that's some valuable information. 

Now you don't have to shoot like the machine, you just need to use it as a reference. You see, by knowing how the machine shoots your bow and comparing it to how you shoot the bow, you now have a way to check if there's a problem.  More than half the time we found the equipment to be the problem. If you don't have a reference point, you will automatically start adjusting your form to allow for the changes, and by doing this, it minimizes your ability to be consistent. 

By using the shooting machine, you can truly know what's happening with your equipment.  Generally you have to settle for 'close', but a shooting machine can not only help you become a more consistent and accurate shooter, but also give you faith in your equipment. So, if you're not shooting as well as you like, don't overlook the value of a shooting machine.
