Right now I'm between 15-20 yds. I don't "gap" shoot, and don't shoot "instinctively", I don't really know what it's called. I just draw, anchor, and point the entire arrow shaft at the target. This requires knowing how your arrows fly, but it works for me, and isn't even that hard. Most quality bows shoot arrows straight, if you have a correct arrow combination, so it isn't hard to learn the arrow's flight characteristics. So after I poin the entire shaft, not just the front of the arrow or the point, I make sure it's a clean release and try to keep my bow arm from deflecting the arrow. I've found that when I point the shaft at the target face, usually a 4" dot, and concentrate on the center, my percentage goes up. It's something I've learned from these boards-aim small, miss small. I use to try gap shooting, but had inconsistent results. I found out that just because the point is where you want it to be, doesn't mean the shaft is inline the way it needs to be. That's why I started getting the arrow inline with my eye and "gauging" it's flight toward the target. So I guess it'd be a mix between gap and instinctive shooting. Quien sabe? But I do know that it's working for me and it feels good when I'm "on my game." Lol, no pun intended. So hopefully you've found your method and get the same joy I get from good grouping.
