Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Old Bear shooters

Another reason some folks have to shoot a ton of arrows, they use an unconscious gap in aiming (many call it instinctive).

A higher anchor point, with a three under tab, and a heavy arrow, may allow you to use the arrow tip as a sight.
And that may be learned rather quickly.

Of course this assumes your anchor/form/release are repeatable.

I don't like my drawing arm up that high at anchor, shot a little lower anchor for years and it just feels awkward.
But I messed up a couple fingers (one on each hand) and couldn't shoot much (pain).
So I tried the aiming method and for that arrow/ bow setup, it worked.

Much prefer split, middle finger corner of mouth, and unconscious gap shooting.
Its fluid and more fun for me. But it requires a lot of practice.
Hopefully other injuries and aging won't keep me from going back to my old method.
