I've been traditional shooting for two years now. After having trained a LOT, I am on an new level now. I shoot with a modern R/D longbow and shoot purely instinctive, two fingers under.
Today, at training, I became awere of something new in my aiming method. I am not sure how long I am doing this, but I mentioned it today. I thought I focussed on the target only. But today I found out, that, when aiming and certainly at the longer distances (say 30 yards and more) I use my arrowpoint as an aimingdevice. It is not clearly in sight, my focus is on the target, but I see my arrow blurred. When my arrow points at the target, it is "dead on" and I hardly can miss.
Strange that I noticed it today. It is like "the unconscious" suddenly became "conscious" and I don't know what triggered it. I never was aware of my arrow before.
Curious as I was, I "made this new method more conscious" and with great results! I was shooting and hitting like never before on 40 yards!
Strangely enough, it doesn't work for shorter distances, lets say 30 yards or less. Then I can't get the right split-vision picture and focus on the target only.
I was curious if this a normal development after shooting for a while? I am also curious if split-vison and instinctive shooting can be used through each other, though I understand they are very closely related.
