Muddler,
The thing to get straight is that you can learn to shoot. What I mean by that is that you don't have to assume that shooting a trad bow is some special gift to a select few. Now I think that some are especially gifted but you or anyone else can learn to shoot. I found the book Instinctive Archery Insights by Jay Kidwell (available at amazon.com) to be a trememdous book to teach you how to shoot instinctively. Honestly, you learn fast with his book. I believe that I can pick any bow up (left handed for me) and after a few arrows start hitting the kill zone at 20 yds. I learned this. It is not a special gift. Get Kidwell's book; it's worth every penny.
