What is your Method of sighting Your Recurve or Long Bow and why it works for you. Or do you site Instinctively. and Why.

I shoot instinctive, and build my arrows to match the bow.If the arrows are not tuned to the bow it just won't work.

I have tryed Both Instictive and Tryed a siting method. And i found that I shoot better Instictive. It seems when I try to site , Either with the Gap , or bringing the Arrow to the eye and site down the arrow, I end Up having the problems I had with Compound. I wear Bifocals, so In order to site down an Arrow or look at the tip as in Gap. I see the arrow fine but my target is fuzzy, Vice-versa If i consentrate on the target, my Arrow site is Fuzzy. That is one of the reasons I changed to Traditional in the first place. I can use both eyes open and Instinctively you consentrate in the target. and the Arrow is never really in the Picture. And the pure Blast of it to boot :lol:
