LBR's post is right on the money
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> Work on your form before you worry about distance or accuracy.

Even after you gain these, you need to still practice them to keep them "fresh". If not problems set right back in!
Also the book by Ferguson I highly recommned also! Instinctive shooting for a begginner is or can be tough as we all have different degrees of atheletic abilitys. I can shoot good instincter, but dont prefer to do so.
Also, if you want accuracy go to 3 under. For a beginner with the right setup (properly tuned bow and spined arrows for the shooter) 3 under you'll see results if you practice it properly! If not its just as bad as trying to poke and hope!
Now nothing is wrong with instinctive style, but learing how to shoot properly and accurately usually dont come very quick with stincter style....give it time of the other methods of aiming, most/all of which are covered in Byrons book, and eventually you will get good enough you start to notice these references less and shooting more stincter style naturally!
Time, patience, and dedication are the 3 biggies in the trad world!
Good luck.
