RE: This "Trad" thing is addictive!
light a candle on a moonless night
step back 20 +/- yards and shoot
if you "sight" you'll have a hard time of it. If you shoot instinctive, you'll be shocked how well you shoot. Picking a "spot" that is literally the only spot to see makes shooting much easier.
The smaller the spot, the easier it is to get close to it
