Vudoo:

I have done enough bare bow shooting to know what I can do. The problem is consistency. One day is great, the next is bad enough that I would not think about hunting deer with my recurve. I think it is fairly common for someone, like yourself, who finds barebow shooting to come naturally to assume that it should be just as easy, or nearly as easy for others to do the same. That is generally not the case. I do think that it is important to do enough barebow shooting at a young age to develop the hand-eye coordination needed for instinctive shooting. Went through the whole trad thing including making my own selfbows and arrows. Some days were incredible, but the bad days left me know that something was lacking in my abilities. I'm 50 now, and not likely to suddenly develop any amazing abilities in the future. I now shoot a fairly simple setup. An old two cam compound with a three pin sight (40yd. pin is just for 3D), no peep sight, release aid (for target panic problems) and a flipper rest. Not barebow, but not exactly 2003 high tech either. I have much more reliable accuracy with this setup. Not necessarily to shoot farther, but to be confident that I can hit what I am shooting at consistently.

Avoid the inevitable until it is absolutely unavoidable!
