Under the eye

DC:
How (or do) you guys get the arrow under your eye? I shoot instinctive and when I'm looking at the target the arrow is kinda coming in from the lower right of my field of vision. I can't seem to get the arrow positioned under my eye so I can kinda sight along it. Is it even part of instinctive shooting? I can see how it would make things easier on my old brain. It would just be able to line it up rather than trying to use advanced trig to figure out where the arrow is pointed.

I shoot with both eyes open. I draw to the corner of my mouth,  so the arrow is always under the target. Of course with both eyes on target you see two arrows, a left and a right. I am a right handed shooter so i make certain the left  arrow lines up with the target, as in, directly under, to align left and right. Elevation is pure luck and guesswork. I usually get it right.

Not that I'm that great of shoot but I do best when all I see is the spot I'm wanting to hit. I don't see bow or arrow just the spot. I know some guy's do aim arrow point at target and that's great but for me I haven't been able to make it work. Not sure why but for me both eyes open only see the spot work s best.

I've done a little try this and try that. I've always anchored with my traffic finger in the corner of my mouth. That seems to put my thumb against my jawbone and pushes my hand out a bit which makes the arrow seem to come in from the side. If I use my index finger in the corner of my mouth it drops my thumb under my jaw and the arrow moves in. I'll have to try that as soon as this $%^%^^ rain stops.

sleek:
Hehe.... you said traffic finger.

I find that method works best. Arrow points right at what I am hitting. ( obviously  ) If you notice that the arrow is swinging wide of target it may not be you, it may be your arrow. They are supposed to flex around you know...
