Since my arthritis has gotten my stickbow shooting confined to my ' good days' , and since I don' t have many good days any more, I shoot compound. But I don' t shoot strictly instinctive. Within 30 yards, I shoot instinctive. Beyond that, I' ve got a gap system I use. I also shoot off an elevated rest (Cavalier MicroFlyte flipper), 3-under. I' m almost as good a shot without the sights and release as I am with them.
