Hi I'm relatively new to Field / Trad Archery
I have access to a club with a 20yd range most days of the week and shoot very well just by looking at what I want to hit. I'm not aware of where the arrow tip is, but the arrow is in my peripheral vision , I guess my brain has worked the trajectory at this distance.
When I do get a chance to go outside and shoot further distances I can no longer look at my target, and I have to look higher than my target
I'm not going to get hung up on what this aiming technique is called, (but I am interested) just really wanted to know is this "normal", as I don't understand how an instinctive archer looks at the target and is able to hit it, if the trajectory path doesn't allow it
I hope this makes sense
Keith
