I've just started shooting 3d tournements and would like to gets some tips from you veterans. I feel that I've shot pretty well so far, avg a score of about 9.3/target. But I seem to have problems on uphill and downhill downshots. Can you guys give me some tips here? or any other tips for that matter.

Not an expert but.....to shoot up and down hill make sure that you are bending at the waste. In other words after you reach full draw bend your waste while keeping your shoulders level to get your sight up to or down to the target. Don't just raise or lower your bow arm.

Not an expert either, Hornet's advice it basically the best as far as shooting form is concerned. Also people tend to judge distance downhill further than it is, and closer uphill.

Yep, bend at the waist, and aim low. Steep up/down shots you will hit high if you shoot it for the actual yardage. :wink:
