Default RE: aiming a recurve

Since I don't know him and don't have any contacts, I have to go with what I heard and saw.

Obviously he went to the major league on his name alone--who goes straight to a major league team after not even playing on any baseball team for how many years? That didn't last long, and he went to the minors, and still didn't last, and never came back to the majors. Sure, he was an amazing player on the basketball court, but he couldn't hang with professionals on the baseball field.

The bestarchers I know aren't all that athletic.

Jordanmight be able to shoot a bow, he might not. Most likely we'll never know, and it has nothing to do with this thread anyway. Maybe he'll sign up for the Olympics and prove me wrong. Anyway.......

If someone needs to use sights or a sighting system to become proficient, IMO there's nothing wrong with that. I think it's much more impressive and fullfilling to hit the spot with a sight or aiming system vs. missing or wounding but being able to say "I did it the 'right' way".

Using sights or some sort of aiming system (which 99.9% of us do, admit it or not, realize it or not) isn't the end of the world, and can be a big help in progressing towards being able to shoot without sights or conciously aiming. If I hadn't first used sights on a compound--first several, then before I swapped to traditional I only used one pin--it's not likely I would have figured out how to "gap" shoot. If I hadn't learned to gap, most likely I would have given up out of frustration. Now I don't conciously aim at all, and I reckon I do ok.
