I am going to the archery club at my uni and tried out a few different club bows until I got my own which is 70" and 14lbs. I wanted something 20-30lbs because I am a newbie and quite skinny so I can't pull back a heavy bow. However, I am 6ft2" so I am a bit taller so I needed a longer bow. I tried borrowing someone's bow sight today and even though I was aiming at the target and looking through the eyepiece I kept missing every time. Only got near the target I was aiming at once.
They kept adjusting it for me cause they knew more how to do it. Though even when I aim without the sight it is hard for me to hit the target. Is it normal to be this bad this bad early on? I know that you need years of practice to get any good and most people start archery when they are kids or something. I did get my own target and gear from Merlin's Archery (in the UK) so I will practice more on my own as well. But I still can't stop my arms/hands from shaking a bit when I pull the bow back fully. But if I don't pull it fully back then the arrow won't hit the target but bounce off or miss.
