Default RE: Sometimes you just have to be honest .............

Hey Don! Gosh, I hate to see you hang up your recurve for the only reason it sounds like it's what you would prefer to hunt and shoot with. I'll 3rd the suggestion on the coach. There are quite a few shooting clinics offered and I'd bet the farm that 1 or 2 days with a qualified instructor could have you on the right track again. Bob Wesley actually has a shooting camp in North Carolina and he teaches the indirect aiming method. He's helped hundreds of archers from beginners to those that have been shooting for years. I've thought of going myself to improve my shooting. There are a lot of other options too; many of the shoots this time of the year offer shooting clinics. Quite possibly there's one coming soon close to your area. I'll be honest with you Don, I think a lot of archers have problems with 100% instinctive shooting. I think you'd find there's more archers then you think that use some form of an aiming method. If you prefer to shoot a compound then by all means, do what makes you happy. But if you really like shooting and hunting with your traditional equipment, DON'T QUIT! I say this without hesitation, with a little instruction and lots of dedication and practice, you can be a very proficient traditional bowhunter. Which ever direction you take, good luck and shoot straight.
