Jim Ploen's two part article on "Aiming the Arrow", taken from the Spring and Summer issues of Instinctive Archer Magazine. Jim was a champion archer and avid bowhunter back in the 60's and 70's. He was one of the first, if not the first to shoot a perfect 300 indoor round. Jim & Buddy teamed up to form the original 21st Century Longbows and their "ringer" Edge hybrid "D" longbow was cutting edge technology that won many tournaments around the world including the classic FITA Championships.

Wow! Thanks for posting that. Its probably some of the best shooting info that has ever been posted on this site.

Great read and thanks for posting. Any chance you may be able to post part 2? He has a way of cutting through the BS we tend to obsess over on line these days about aiming techniques.

It should be required reading for all new archers. Its amazing all the bs I had to wade through when I first started shooting to come to most of the same conclusions that he wrote down 11 years ago in that article.

Good stuff Rob!

At the end of part two he mentions a next series that will give insights into how aiming can help you master target panic.

I'd love to read that as well if you have it.

Thanks Rob. I enjoyed reading those again. Still got my old copies of Instinctive Archer.

excellent article!! i normally don't have the patience to read long disertations on a computer, so i printed it out. i seem to be spending more and more time on the shooters forum, with visible results in my shooting of late. terry's form clock has helped a great deal, and this article really helps put things in perspective.
