A couple weeks ago while on vacation, I read Jay Kidwell's book...... I enjoyed the book and found it useful.
The really good tip I took away from the book was visualizing the trajectory of the arrow..... I know Byron recommends the same thing in his book, but until recently I had never really paid the trajectory thing much attention.... I've been shooting with more of conscience gap.....
Anyway, when I got back home I started playing around with visualizing the trajectory... I mean really visualizing.... Just staring at the target and then imaging the flight...... I made myself forget about the gap, and just really toss the trajectory around in my head... Pick a spot, draw, hold for just a second to get that back tension really pulling and WHAM!! I was shocked at how well it was actually working..... I haven't had a lot of time to test it, but I found I was shooting just as good, if not better out to 25 yds with this method as I was with more of conscience gap method....
Just thought I would share.

I,ve been shotting that way from my first bow till now. I can,t shoot any other way. I think when the mind, eye and arms work together nothing works better.
"Instinctive Archery Insights" by Jay Kidwell........ Revised addition..
A lot of the book is about the mental aspect of the sport... It's a good read.....
