Very good read.

It doesn't matter how or what you shoot, as long as you hit your target.

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?

for those who don't know jim, he was a champion archer back in the 60's/70's, an avid bowhunter and outdoorsman, and a master bowyer (he along with buddy created 21st century archery).

there are 5 jim ploen iam articles in all.  for those that don't have the mags or the  iam cd  i'll eventually post them here at trad gang -

spring 2000 - aiming the arrow, part I
summer 2000 - aiming the arrow, part II
fall 2000 - target panic
winter 2000 - bow tuning
spring 2001 - bow hand & release

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.
