“instinctive archery” is more like playing the violin. Without practice you may remember the mechanics, but you will not be a virtuoso.

Timber/Canebrake . . Croatlis horridus.  Herpetological community and 'common names' conflict, but canebrake and timber a basically color/pattern morphs of same critter.

Yep, canebrake.  Timber rattlers have similar markings but fade to black near the tail, at least in our part of the country.  

They look good on just about any bow if you like skins.
