Accurately shoot arrows out to 100 yards

Picture
This is definitely possible with a long axle to axle bow that is bareshaft tuned and an archer that shoots consistently.  When I shoot once a week, and my bow is tuned, I can keep 10" groups at 100 yards with calm winds.  My equipment is listed under "Archery Equipment".  The longer bow, heavier arrows, large vanes, and release with a good trigger are all key equipment pieces.  The largest key to shooting for me is bareshaft tuning my bow which also tunes me.  This teaches me my weak points which tend to be moving my release hand off my face upon the shot and also not relaxing my grip hand before the shot. 

Most of the time my problems are related moving my release hand off my face at the shot.  I don't buy into the back tension method as I don't have that time or ability in the field.  I usually spot and stalk and shot opportunities can be quick as a flash.  And I'm constantly changing gloves and facemasks according to temperature.  This affects my anchor and I need consistency.  So I treat archery like rifle shooting where the goal is to be repetitive with every shot and to stay still before and after the shot.
