I agree that you should be using a bow that is in the 40-45# range at your actual draw length with the bow and instead of shooting for accuracy right away, you should be working on the foundation of your shooting. That being your form. I know you' ve heard this already, but it' s something that can' t be said enough. The more consistent your form is from shot to shot, the more consistent your accuracy will be from shot to shot. Even using the instinctive method, which like was said, isn' t for everybody. Many try it and most end up using some method of aiming. Where the aiming can fail, whether using a sighted set of wheels or a bare stickbow, is at unknown distances in uneven/unfamiliar terrain with obstacles like overhanging branches, high brush, deadfalls and other things, that are between you and your target. The only way to make those shots consistently are to actually practice them in the field. Unless you know the flight of the arrow from your bow, you severely limit yourself and your bows potential. One way to learn the flight of your arrow from your bow is to do a lot of roving and flight shooting. It' s a heck of a lot more fun than standing flat footed in front of a target butt flinging arrows at paper.

As far as talking you into trying again, you need to have the desire in your heart and the willingness/determination in your mind to continue shooting a stick and do what it takes to get as good as you can with it. If you look at your shooting with a good sense of humor, you' ll stop a lot of the frustration of missing and your attitude will improve. A possitive attitude makes for a possitive shooting experience and you' ll find that your shooting will improve too.
