More push ups, heavy duty therapy stretch bands, keep practicing, maybe shorten your shooting sessions.  Probably just need to get into "shooting" shape.  Take a break if your groups start getting bigger, stay at it though! Got to. Practice!  Old Sgt Major would say, "Gimme 10, young trooper" >:D!

glad to see my mistakes generate some good discussion :P

started work on a new bow today, now I've got a scale I can work it out to a more reasonable weight for taking to the range

I tell you what, folks here learn more from bow failures than the ones that magically pop out of the stave, tillered, sanded, and dressed for the cotillion.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
