Brian Sorrel has a book out that I believe if one follows his method, they will become proficient faster than any other program. Its basically a regimen where you start at 3 yards, and shoot every night, and do not move back until you are hitting a 2" spot every time, and then move back 2 yards and repeat. When you get to 15, start mixing it up a little
Good info there bigc!
When I started out I just shot and shot and really didn't care if I hit my spot I was looking at or not. All I cared about was a consistent anchor point and a good release and form. When I got that figured out I just looked at where I wanted my arrow to go and let it go. It was ugly at first but as time went on it became allot easier and allot more natural.
I think my style is Instinctive but people will argue that one to no end being they think the only Instinctive shot you take is your very 1st one. Call it what you want but whatever works for you is what you should do. When I shoot I look at my spot and concentrate like a SOB and when I pull my recurve back and hit my anchor point I let the arrow go. My eyes are always on the spot I'm looking at where I want that arrow to go to, I don't even acknowledge my arrow when I'm drawing back. It works for me. There's many other methods as well.
Good luck!!
