Default How do YOU aim?


hey guys.... just wondering how everyone out there aims....differences and likenesses...... this is how i aim....

starting with grip.... i wear gloves that got those lil rubber dots on em...and i grip the bow in teh v between my thumb and index fingure.... while keeping the bow straigh up and down with my pinky on my stabilizer......
now for my anchor point..... i anchor right behind my jaw bone under my ear.... i don' t use a kisser but i do use three points to my anchor..... the other two are teh corner of my mouth and the tip of my nose..... i' m extremely consistent with this....
i have a peep sight with the rubber tube to straighten it.....


k now its time to get down to business....
when my snchor point is entered into the equation...... i' m looking through the peep at teh sights....and i used to point instead of aim right... and i wasn' t even as close to what i can do now.... ya see for about a week or so all i shot was recurve...which really helped my form and how i aimed...the whole time i shot recurve i used instinctive aiming.... so when i went back to my compound i shot instinctively through my peep sight..... if that makes any sense.... but i burn holes into whatever i aim at.... first i place my pin where i want the arrow to hit then i stare through my pins straight into the target... until i can' t even see my pins....its kind of unconcous aiming....thats the only way i can describe it....because i don' t even think of pulling the trigger i just do...unconcously.... i kinda wake up when i hear the arrow hit....

i' ve just started aiming like this and it really seems to work for me..... so tell how ya aim...i' m kinda interested in comparing my aiming to yours[:-]
