When shooting barebow, what aiming method do you use?
Back when I used to shoot ONLY barebow, I used gap shooting for target archery and instinctive shooting for field archery (whether the distances were marked or not).
Gap shooting worked well for target archery because so many arrows were shot at the same distance -- keeping a consistent visual gap between the arrow point and the target made sense.
Instinctive shooting worked well for field archery because I practiced a heck of a lot and could pick the right shot in most circumstances.
I never really got the hang of other "deliberate" methods such as string walking and face walking.
What are your opinions and experiences?
