I shoot instinctive on a bare compound with fingers. I started that way because I wanted to. I'm fairly accurate out to 40 yards if I practice enough. Inside of 30 I'm right on. I wouldn't compete with X shooters but deadly just the same. When I first started I practiced a lot. I could make a smilie face with my arrows at 25 yards and hit a swinging 2" target at 17 yards. Since getting married and having kids I don't practice as much year round as I did, but I can pick up the bow in August and still hit the bullseye at 25 yards first try, if I concentrate. For me it's usually more a matter of building up my muscles and form than getting the feel back.
