Great article, thank you.
The article makes mention of another article:
Target panic and "gold fever"
You wouldn't happen to have that one too would you?

Great read Rob - thanks!

Really demonstrates how far the definition of instinctive has gotton away from its origin as an archery term. And how shooting knowledge has regressed.
