getting better at instinctive shooting vid.
tgr:
Any websites or tutorials on "instinctive shooting". I would like to hunt this year but I am a lousy shot. I'm concerned about making an ethical shot. From 17yds I can hit a 2.5' x 2.5' target but rarely in the bullseye!

Forget the bulls eye. Deer don't wear them. I use no referance marks on my targets. I concebtrate on where I want the arrow to go and if I am within a few inches, I'm good. If you can consistantly put your arrows in a 8" circle at your chosen range you should be good to go. ;) Pat

Like Pat said, forget bullseye. You should concentrate on a small spot. Orange dots about 1" in circumference can be pasted on your target, get em' at wally world. Also deer dont have orange spots. When you can put 6 arrows around em or in 'em you dont need em dont put em' on and shoot for 1st arrow you fire. Like he said 8" group is good. Practice from different positions, standing ,bent over, kneeling etc and start slow and then get faster an faster still with good form. IMHO you have 3-5 secs to get a shot off, animals dont stand still fer ya. I hunt from ground so if stand huntin maybe your time frame is longer.........bob

Bob, I thought that is why I was trying to get so close. I had to put the little orange sticker on them. No wonder I never get anything. I thought about putting the sticker backwards on a blunt then shooting it at the deer. The sticker would stick on the deer, then I would have a target. Somehow I think there is a flaw in my logic, but I just cant put a finger on it. ??? Maybe you guys can help. Justin
