Why would you shoot with fingers? You can shoot instinctive with a release. Gap shooting you would need to revert to fingers.


what I was thinking..

I always thought "shooting instinctively" just meant you have a 30 yard pin that is on. You know you shoot this much high at 37 or this much low at 22. etc.


It means shooting without aiming or aiming devices at all/without using a point of reference. I don’t worry about distance at all when I shoot. I just know the arrow is going where I’m looking. As for the question, I only use a recurve and shoot it instinctively. I assume I could do the same with a compound, but I haven’t really tried.


I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There�s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts. � Ronald Reagan
