I always focus on the SPOT on the animal or target that I want to hit. The target nor the pins blur......I guess it could be because I shoot with both eyes open. I've shot this way for so long that when I try to close my left eye, everything goes blurry. I shoot all weapons this way because I've found that I am a better shot and that I can see better in low light situations.

I'll reiterate that with bows, I am sorta in between on this question. I tinker all the time with my bow form, for better or worse. But my target panic stems from looking at the target, then my brain starts yelling at me, "Shoot now, NOW, the pin's on the target NOW, NOW!" When I focus on the pin, a technique I've only recently gone back to, I'm not so intimately aware of exactly where the pin is on the target and I feel more relaxed. So far it's working in that I haven't had any target panic yanks yet, although my overall groups are about the same.

With a rifle with peep or V sights, I am very adamant that they only correct technique is front sight focus. Learned that in the USMC, where they sit you around a barrel with little targets painted on it, and have you sit there for a whole week learning to trust that front sight focus. You have to sell out to the technique for it to work.

God I hate that!![:@][:'(]

You mean you're suppose to see them both at the same time.[:-] I agree, focus on the spot once you catch the intended pin on target. It'll stay there. All you have to do is see the spot.

I always focused on the pins, the way I was taught with guns and just carried it over to bow. Im gonna give focusing on the target a try with the bow and see how it goes.
