Default RE: Try this

I really only use my pins for yardage adjustment. The pins are a "documented reference point" for me. I guesstimate the range, use my pins to "get close" then forget the pins and focus on the target and form then following through. When my mental game is on i can drive tacs. 4" groups at 55 yrds. I like to walk all over my range and play "horse" w/ my cousin when we shoot. This is a good challenge and forces you to start shooting instinctively. Last time we played we attempted a 68 yrd shot. (only knew that after the shot and we grabbed a range finder). My arrow hit dead center of the target.... I was happy.

For me its "all mental". I guess what helped me was starting w/ a long bow back at the ripe ol age of 8. No sites, just form and instinct. I still shoot a recurve frequently to keep my skills sharp. It also makes for a great way to shoot geese After shooting trap in a few amature leagues i found it to easy to kill geese. And your only allowed one a day so why not try it w/ a bow. (Unsuccessful to date 0 for 2) Next week is resident goose season, so i plan on trying it again.
