Lazer pointer training for making a spot?

(1/2) > >>

Mo_coon-catcher:
I've been reading the 'Instictive archery insights' book. It got me to thinking about something I want to try and am curious if anyone does it. Packing around a lazer pointer to make a district spot on the target before shooting it. Use the lazer to put a bright spot on the target, butn it in your mind, put the pointer away, then shoot while ye image is in your head. Think this would be a worthwhile training for instinctive shooting? I feel like if you do this enough, your mind will eventually make the spot on its own without needing to use the lazer.

Does this sound worth while?

Thanks,
Kyle

Kyle, anything that will help you concentrate on the "spot" should help with your shooting. Just remember that deer won't have a red or green dot on it when the time comes.   ;)

BowEd:
Interesting....but remembering where a person holds their bow hand could do the same thing.It would be revealing though.

osage outlaw:
At target distance holding the laser pointer perfectly still might be a challenge.  Your spot will be moving around on the target. 

TrevorM:
You'd probably want to mount it to the bow. Thoughts that come to mind are: You wouldn't want to use it to the point you rely on it. You'd need to find a way to calibrate it. I could see it helping with consistency, if you know it should hit the dot and it's way off what did you do differently?
