Default RE: Shooting Instinctive

Art has given a good explaination. A lot of people feel that the only truely instinctive shot that a person ever takes is the first shot ever taken. Some others believe that it is the first shot of a session. After that there is always a reference.

Personally, I use a secondary vision type method. With this, I concentrate on the target, however, I keep the shaft directly under the eye in my secondary vision. the shaft is out of focus, but it's there. If I look orconcentrate on the arrow, I let up on the bow. All the concentration is on target.

This is the style of Ferguson and Hill. If you want to do some research, take a look at the book "Become the Arrow", by Byron Ferguson.
