Default RE: Aiming vs Instinctive

Good thread. Arthur P thanks for the explanation it helped my shooting already. I read the book by Asbell and he says never look down the arrow or at the arrow, only the target where you want to hit. I noticed when shooting when I watch the arrow with my peripheral vision as you describe I shoot much better than when I concentrate only on the spot I want to hit. I've spent a lot of time trying to make myself not see the arrow but have not been that accurate or progressing very fast. Last night after reading this post I shot some groups and shot better than I have in quite a while. I think it will help me a lot, I've always been more comfortable shooting that way but was under the impression that it was incorrect.
