There are three methods of aiming an arrow. One is called"instinctive"* shooting, another is known as "point of aim,"and the third is the use of a bow sight. Instinctive shooting is, perhaps, the oldest method. It wasused by the American Indians exclusively, and we havereasons to believe that the English archers used this methoduntil the 1850's when Horace Ford introduced the point ofaim in target shooting. A great many bow hunters use this • Instinctive shooting is a poor name, there seems to be nothing instinctiveabout the process. Rut, for the lack of a better name, we are obliged to use form altogether. There will be many times that a point ofaim or bow sight cannot be used while hunting. At distancesup to 20 or 25 yards, instinctive shooting is probably the bestway to aim. |
