[Hidden Hippo]

I've found this a lot with moving to compound. I was a high second class archer with a recurve (had the handicap of a first but couldn't shoot enough longer rounds to get the scores in) but when moving to compound and not having the same sort of weight on the arm etc. it is a lot easier to let your thoughts wonder. I find that if I really concentrate on the shot and on the aiming process then the release just comes naturally and the arrow usually finds the gold, but this does take a lot of concentration. I think its likely to be just a practice issue which you will eventually get used to.
