some who shoot aweful during the day tighten up thier groups. Some the complete opposite. Myself when I started shooting at candles at night, I went from mediocre groups to smacking arrows. Tells me I was overthinking the shot and needed to concentrate on a spot.
Yeah, it's weird, even with sights right now, I notice that if I take more than 2 seconds on the shot, I start overthinking things and my shot goes anywhere but where I want it.
However, if I "look past the sight" and I just focus on my spot and just release and not think to much, the arrow goes where I want it to more consistently almost like I just "thought the arrow" to the target -- it's an awesome feeling.
