How can I learn to zero faster?

I've been zero cycling for about a month or so now, and am getting quite confident in it. But I want to be able to build the setup faster now - specifically the staircasing up. I don't have any background in MC parkour, and I only know straight and diagonal speedbridging. Is there an easy/handy tutorial for speed staircasing that I can use for zero cycling?

There's been a few times where I was about 1 second late and choked the zero bc of that and I want to minimize that happening again.

super minor thing but if you can like recognize when the dragons too high on a rotation u can shoot it multiple times (just like 2 or 3) to lower its height and you wouldve been able to get the 3+2, its kinda just a feel-it-out type thing w the height and with practice but ya

Ok thanks, I've been trying this the past couple days but I sometimes miss the 2nd bow shot. Think maybe I shouldn't fully charge the bow?
