Default RE: Interesting article on instinctive shooting.

Shooting a group means you are doing the same thing every time--consistency. That is important, but not the same thing as accuracy.

Don't set the candle up at 25 yds. Have someone set it out for you at an unknown distance, or use the small glow stick stuck into a target (where all you see is a glowing dot).

McPhee, I agree that some things work better than others, depending on the person. However, there are some basic fundamentals that, if properly applied, will make anyone a better shooter--consistency, back tension, follow though, etc.

Again, the main thing that got me in the article was the phrase "real instinctive shooter", as if that is some holy grail to reach for. Accuracy is (or should be) the goal, not some label.
