I started out by shooting a compound instinctive. Did that for probably 4 or 5 years and then went to sight/fingers, then sight/peep/fingers and finally the whole shooting match! This all happened many, many moons ago though. -
When i shot a compound i did so. Practice makes perfect.Comment

i think it would be fun for birds and small critters.Comment

I imagine that having eccentric wheel cams with a moderately soft wall makes it a lot easier! Of course, you don't see many factory bows with those anymore.

Derrick, I hunted with an Oneida Screaming Eagle for about 3 or 4 years. I shot it off the shelf just like a recurve. I took a ton of critters with that bow and had a lot of fun with it. My heart was always with the trad gear though and I eventually came back. Although the old Onieda's were a mechanical nightmare they were a dream to shoot instinctively.

Have a brother n law that shoots instinctively. Either perfect hit or complete miss.
He tried sights once and couldn't hit anything. Took them off after a week.Comment

Sounds like my brother, he has been shooting compound bows instinctively since we were teenagers. He is good but put a sight on his bow and he can't to save his own life. lolOriginally posted by ottert View PostComment

Shot many deer from the late 70s through early 90s that way. Also used a release most of that time (yeah, I know - heretical, right?).
Shooting pins now because I've gotten into the accuracy thing... plus age has a little to do with it.Comment
