HELP!!!!!!
 
I a made a bad decision if you asked me, but i was shooting my reflex highlander today and i suck at shooting with sights, so i deciced to take off the sights and shoot with my instincts, i know with some practice that i could start making groups, but that aint my problem, i was shooting with a 2 prong arrow rest but i dont know which one to use the 2 prong or a whisker biscuit, but if i use the wb that will stop me from looking down the arrow. Last 2 years i have been shooting recurve and i shoot instinctly and i am pretty good so i think that this is my best bet. What do u think??
thanks for your help

Switch to a recurve if shooting by feel is what you prefer or put a sight back on your compound.

if you look down the arrow i would go with a rest similar to the recurve so you can cant your bow

calebwill, I'd really suggest going to a plunger style rest. Golden Key still makes one.

If you shoot better with the recurve then use it and put the sights back on the Reflex incase you want to learn how to shoot good with sights then you can practice with it and once you get better with those then use the Reflex otherwise i would stick to the one that you shoot best.

Just my 2 cents

You have to shoot what feels right to you. I shoot both ways, I typically on my practice sessions will shoot 5 arrows at a time, 3 using sights an 2 canting my bow and shooting with out them. I have to change my anchor point when doing this but I can usually put the instinctively shot arrows within 4 inches of the others. The great thing about shooting without sights is the lack of pin confusion in a hunting situation. And while shooting targets I dont feel like I have to blow the nock off the previous arrow when shooting without sights.

Hope this helps
