Derick,
I'm glad you can take my ribbing  :) ;)  I do have to say you were shooting very good before I slowed you guys down.  Yes I'll be at the shoot on the first.  I shouldn't missed the last one but I woosed out and spent the day in the shop making more arrows to loose and break. ;D
Stay warm and have a good one.
Till next time

I don't know if this would be considered gap shooting but anything under 30yds I aim instinctively but farther ranges I aim higher than my intended target. For instance, a normal size AZ deer at 25yds I "aim" or pick a spot without compensating for distance. At farther ranges I shoot above the back or leave a little "daylight" above the shoulders at 40yds which puts my arrow in the sweet spot behind the shoulder.
This is practice mind you, not hunting. I practice at long distances to make shots at 20-25yds seem like a "chip shot". At farther distances you amplify mistakes and therefore improve on them. Especially release and coming to full draw consistently.
Forever making arrows!
