I'm with Graps and Hummer3T.
   Archery has a lot to do with your mental attitude....
   Grab that and think to yourself, I'm the best there ever was, and shootin.

Me. .  I also make it very un accurate at times.

A solid bow arm and never stop pulling.

The bowyer!

The right arrow and practice.

A ''balance'' of all things mentioned above. It's a give and take w/ bow designs. One can make a bow extremely fast but they give something up in design else where. I do believe a bow design can make an archer better. It's happened to me. I have bows I shoot well out to 20 or so yards and another I call my 40 yrd bow.

I got 6 of em and aint a one accurate.

Okay.  I'll admit to not reading all the responses, but I'm going to put my 2 cents in and then start reading.

Assuming my setup is tuned, the number one for me is consistent form.  Number two would be a smooth, consistent release.

I just went around a 3D course with 6 people in our group. 2 women and 4 men. Some were shooting ILF bows ( top notch setups ), one a custom 3 piece longbow and I was shooting a one piece Hill style bow. Our scores were all very close and we all shot good and bad targets. I think the people that win are just having a good day and are practiced shooters that know their setups.

Finding the rt arrow and then executing the proper form.

The shooter.
