Thanks, and Stephen, instinctive shooting is the same as zen archery. You concentrate on your target or kill and if you are "on it" that shot it hits it's mark. I would never take a shot from more than 20 yards though.

Thanks for the  answer ,, my accuracy really drops after 20 yards. This being the case i will nbot take a shot unless its well inside that  range.
