that sure is interesting i will try some of those techniques tomorrow after work.

I agree with the above, but you can't teach the "Dialing in" part. And I disagree about not teaching form, without proper and consistent alignment, you are no way going to be instinctively accurate.

This thread really brought back memories. My first experience with a real bow was in 1962 when I was 12 yrs. old. I had bugged my uncle and drove him crazy about shooting  one of his bows. He finally agreed and got me out an Pearson recurve that was 30#s and 3 fiberglass arrows. The method he used to teach me was a method just like this one. He explained some of the finer points but told me to learn and the only way to learn was do!! The next hunting season he gave me a new Browning bow and a dozen arrows matched for it. The bow pulled 35#s @28", I shot a 79# doe at 13yds and was sooo proud. This method does work and will help cure TP, I know I suffer from it. Simply by using the swing motion outlined by the gentleman, I was able to get my shooting back into control. Before you say anything think about what he says and mull it over. It does work. Also I do not know this man or have had any contact with him, but can only speak from my own experiences.

Im going to give this a try.

Since the topic is instinctive shooting and there is always debate on form and anchor, this video is interesting. Note what Mr. Hussey says about aiming and looking at your target.

He is now deceased. He lived about 12 miles from me.

The video is dated, as seen by the van in the first part. Probably the late 70s or early 80s.

True instinctive shooters are a rare breed, especially when as accurate as Mr. Hussey.

His home made and numbered sling shots at auction locally can go for hundreds of dollars.

You know Bowsan I havr shown quite a few people this method in my 30yrs. of shooting stick and string and even though it took some longer to get it they all seem to be good shooters. The best thing is it don't cost one damn copper to learn this, mostly commom sense, and desire to do.

Thanks Rich...I will give this a try as I learned Mr. Asbell's method of shooting and this just reinforces what I have been taught! Thanks againg for the great tips!!

BowsanAiros,

I've tried you method for the past two days. Groups have noticeably tightened.

I'll keep at it and see where it goes.

Thanks.

I was already a cross between instinctive and gap. Groups weren't bad anyway, but I'm usually a draw, hold, ponder, then release type of shooter. The drill you described has helped with quicker and more accurate releases out to 20 yards. I likely will never take a shot at a deer out past 20 yards unless my accuracy and skill improve to a confident level. But at 20yds and under I'm fairly confident now but prefer 15 and under shots on game.

Great Thread!

Can't wait to try it....wind is blowing 25-30 mph or I'd be out there shooting right now.
