I shoot instinctive recurve, the answer is to focus on where u want ur arrow to go, blur out everything else. Still gotta have archery fundamentals so ur shot sequence is the same but don’t stop staring at where u want the arrow to go. Also gotta shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, and shoot again at all different distances. Ur brain does all the adjustments. It’s like throwing a baseball to somebody, u just pick it up and throw it but ur brain is doing calculations u might not be thinking about. How far determines how much arch u will put on it and how hard to throw it and all that stuff, good luck!

There available in other calibers including rifle and shotgun and saves a lot on ammunition even when it’s available and you can practice just about anywhere

Growing up shooting recurve instinctively was normal for me. I still love shooting recurve

According to numerous family members my grandpa instinctively would shoot the 30-30 from the hip and always had 1 shot kills sometimes 2 kills 1 shot. I never got to hunt with him.

when I went back to shooting my re-curve something was just off. I couldn't figure out what it was for the life of me. I was doing everything the same shot after shot, but it was still amiss. One day while shooting I made a shot and it felt great. Like it was normal, or as it was supposed to. Took me a few more shots to figure it out, but once I realized what I was doing it all turned around.

Since I am not able to shoot as much as I would like, it still takes me a few few shots to get it right, but when I do, it is fantastic.

Yup. I made a new friend at the range who used to be a small arms instructor in the Navy. Before that the only handguns I shot well were revolvers and 1911s. He got me up to speed on gripping the smaller CC arms and now I am at least 3/4 dangerous with em!
