GAP shooting???
iowabow:
I have gotten much better in the last four years and the method I use is the following. For all distances tip just below target at start of draw then target focus 100% on the smallest dot till release. Never gapping just shooting. I did the gap thing and it works but it is harder imo. For some reason unknown to me the above method works amazing and you never have to think about distance.

John, I'm pretty sure what you are doing is considered gap shooting. That's the Ferguson method. Do you see your arrow tip in your blurry peripherals? I do that. I'm reading the Asbell books right now. I got the whole set for Christmas and am enjoying them. I may have my terms mixed up w/ the gap method. I shoot the way Ferguson teaches. Yardage is unnecessary to know until point on range.

well after I start the draw I try real hard to never see anything but the dot like tunnel vision.

Bill, You were bragging on me the first half of the range. It's after we had to wait for you to go back to the truck and change bows that I started shooting bad. ;D You're right though, I ain't no Ferguson. And tend to wear down after twenty or so shots. We'll see how it goes the weekend after next. You gonna be there on the 1st? dp
