Shooting technique
Sticks:
I look at the target and my minds eye sees where the arrow will fly to get there then I raise the bow come to anchor and let it fly.Some times I hit something.
Woodely:
All this stuff about instinctive has got me going. I have experineced certain things like ESP, déjà vu, some clairvoyant stuff and astral travel (out of body experience). And yes I have seen UFO's though only once. Maybe pure instinctive is an Alien trait. :) In our brains there are areas that need discovering further. :)
Hawkdancer:
I may not be remembering this properly, but it seems that in my very early shooting years, we would actually stick an "aiming stake in the ground for each distance we would shoot with a given arrow length. Sooner or later, hand/eye coordination and muscle memory would take over, and we shot by "instinct" - actually by learned action. After a few years or so of good practice, we learned how to adjust for various ranges with more practice, without stakes. Good practice is the key!

Woodely:
"we would shoot with a given arrow length" I don't get that part I always shoot arrows that are 30" long regardless. Wouldn't various sizes hinder accuracy.
neuse:
I hold on target to long, probably 8 to 11 seconds.
