Default RE: Aiming vs Instinctive

There are a lot of questions out there about books and videos. I must say I have a library of at least 60 books and twice that of videos. I enjoy reading them or watching them almost every evening before bed. What a way to wind down the day. My wife asked me once why I have all of that stuff and can not hit the side of the barn with my longbow. Simple, I only get time to shoot may be 25 arrows a month. I love traditional archery, the books, the people, and the equipment. Untill I get more practice, I will have to continue to hunt with my compound with sites. (like shooting a rifle) and I have never had a miss out to 40 yards (my max) he had better be holding still though with all the gadgets and laser rangefinder it requires of me.

The point is, all of the books and videos should be taken with a grain of salt. It is practice which will get you on the paper. OLN showed an episode of a Judge shooting a buck on a slow run not 20' from him after jumping a fence. He nailed it. You can not do that unless you are instinctive shooting. That is what I am aiming for.
