Better shooting in low light?

(1/3) > >>

missilemaster:
 Hey guys, I was wondering if this happens to anyone else. The other night I was shooting at 18-20 yards. All I could see was the faint bulls eye and the outline of the target. I was drilling bulls eyes!
    My thoughts are that when you cannot consciously see the arrow, you are truely shooting purely instinctively. 

paulsemp:
most of my shooting seems to be when its dark out also after the kids have gone down. I seem to shoot better and I think for the reason is that you're not distracted by anything else going on. Although I am shooting in the backyard and always worried about aaron going astray

Pat B:
Cody, I think it also has to do with less peripheral clutter, like shooting at a candle flame in a dark room.

missilemaster:
sounds logical. Another thing that probably helps is that I am left eye dominant but shoot right handed. In low light my left eye cannot pull the arrow to the left so to speak, because it cant see it!

mhof86:
Might also have to do with not being lazy. Low light or any conditions that cause an added level of stress might be forcing you to pay more attention to your overall form and point of aim. I know when I shoot at night or in low light I am a lot more focused on everything that goes into me taking that shot compared to shooting in prime or relaxed conditions.
