I talked to Draco about this at the Weavers and when I got home I dug this thread up and re-read it. I think that I have shot at so many distances for so long that it gives me the same thing. I don't know where the point is relation to my target. but I hit what I'm looking at. This was from just shooting one heck of a lot of arrows

If I didn't burn a hole through the target or if I got distracted a sit second before the shot, who knows where the arrow would go. I just tried this tonight and after a slight modification to my anchor. I am rubbing feathers and they are going where I want them too! This is too cool.
Thanks Draco for posting this. The pictures really brought it all together!

Now if I could get people to think more on shooting healthy so they could shoot longer into life with out wrist, elbow and shoulder problems. I may do a thread on that some day.

Shooting split finger and instictive has been working ok for me, but I tend to have a wild flier now and again. Usually high or low. This system would eliminate that. What to do, what to do. Thanks for the replies.

Hi Bisch!! I started the gap method of shooting back when I had to wear glasses. I have shot this method long enough that it seems it has almost gone full circle back to being instinctive. Thanks Draco for posting this up, you explained very well!

I hope that this means that you and your shoulders are getting back in the "Trad Game"!!
Just nod your head and go on with it man!!!! LOL!!!

Clay,
I'm sorry I forgot that you were experiencing a severe tendinitis thing in the elbow instead of a shoulder problem when we last corresponded. I think that I must have subconsciously imposed my own shoulder fears into the mix...thinking about the "He Man" draw weight that your compound was set at. "Ouch"!!! I'd come apart like nobody's business if I tried drawing that weight. LOL!!!
Well I sure hope that you get to shooting "Trad" again so that we see you sharing some of your shooting and hunting expertise with us!! Clay is a sure enough hunter/outdoorsman and has lots of savvy to share!!!
