This sounds interesting. Could one of you explain exactly what you mean by "trust your float"? I know that in my practice sessions I try to do the "drive by" and find myself frustrated quickly becauseI know that I can do better.
Thanks!
Not even the most proficient shooter in the world can hold a pin dead steady on a target. These shooter's pin floats around the target and even though as the pin is floating on the target and the bow goes off the arrow usually(almost always) hits where it's suppose to. At times it's magical.

Floating a target does not mean you go from top to bottom or from bottom to top or left/right. You put the pin on the SPOT and the pin floats around it. You have to trust that when the bow goes off, preferably from a suprise release like back tension or squeezing not yanking the trigger that the arrow is going to be there.

Of course this means your using good form and follow through (your not peaking up to see where the arrow hits) but you are trusting your float.
