Even though you use a sight, do not neglect shooting byinstinct. There will be times when the bow cannot be heldin a perpendicular position. Accurate use of the sight canonly be had when the bow is perpendicular. Overhangingboughs may make it necessary to hold the bow at an angle;under such conditions one must shoot instinctively. Thearcher who can master the instinctive form of shooting has,in the author's opinion, a far greater chance of bagging adeer than if he depends on a bowsight alone.
It may be that there is no organized club near you; inthat event it will be necessary to furnish your own target. Thiscan either be purchased or you can make one. If you haveaccess to a piece of ground large enough for a target range,you may consider yourself lucky. If this location is such thatthe target cannot be erected as a permanent fixture, then itis necessary to buy a standard target which can be transportedto and from the range in any ordinary car.
