Double Creek, I learned from the get go on a 55 pound recurve 35 years ago. I used to shoot much like you do only more rinky dink. I had a sight on my old recurve. With my latest bow I'm doing it the Byron Ferguson way from the get go. I figure I've been away from trad long enough to forget my old style. I used to have the bow upright and all that, draw, anchor and release. I'm really getting into this canted bow, lean, draw, hit the anchor and it's gone. I got it back to 15 and 20 yard shot pretty quickly. I guess after shooting 15 million[8D] arrows in 35 years you get the feel of what a bow will do once you shoot an arrow. 15 is a given but I'll drop some at 20 that tells me I'm not ready for takiing it to the woods just yet. I had a little trouble at first but was worrying too much about the gap and not the spot. Now I don't even think gap. I just have to get more religious about practicing. When I get to where I'm comfy with 25 I'll take it to the woods. You can't pick it up once a week and build any muscle memory. I've just tinkered with it until now. Too many other things going on in my life... or should I say Non-life.
