Default Instinctive shooters?

How do you aim? Whether you shoot a compound or traditional, what do you do to aim?

You shoot traditional like you would a slingshot, just look at the center of the target and release...
With practice it becomes second nature, similiar to hitting a wide receiver with a football...

Yea what they said. Look at your target and let the arrow fly.

I pick a spot, tuft of hair or a dark spot, on the target I want my arrow to hit. I will concentrate on this spot until I come to my anchor point and wait a second and release my arrow with a good follow thru and my arrow hits its mark! For me the biggest thing is concentrating on my mark, I'll never loose that mark. Like the old saying says, "Aim Small, Miss Small"! Its a blast, I love it!

We have a winner!! Well said Joe. Make sure you pick a spot, not an area and consentrate on that one little spot!!!!

Instinctive with recurves and longbows.I concentrate on a single spot--whether it's a tuft of hair behind the shoulder,a squirrel's eye,or a hole in a target.Aim small,miss small

Thats when I shoot my best, I'll pick out an old arrow hole in my target and put another right in its place! Thats fun stuff!
