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.

That bow makes my finger hurt just looking at it it must really have lots of
   early power to cast a arrow that far. I made a 47"sinewed bow and draw it and just touched my lip with my thumb and after about ten shots my finger were crying from all the pinching that string was doing. I bet that little bow really bit's
