Instinctive Archery vs Aiming a Recurve or Longbow

When it comes to traditional archery shooting styles, folks can sometimes get a little defensive. One sure fire way to start a fight is to get on a traditional archery forum and claim that “instinctive shooting is the best” or “aiming a longbow is far better than instinctive”.

This video explores the similarities and differences between instinctive archery and aiming methods like gap shooting and split vision shooting. We answer the questions of “what is instinctive archery”, what does it mean to aim a recurve”, and are aiming and instinctive totally separate and unique approaches to archery.

I have several other videos that teach you how to aim a recurve bow. This isn’t one of them. Here, we are simply explaining why you might want to shoot one way vs the other. Another great resource that I mention in the video is the Master’s of the Barebow video series from Traditional Vision Quest. Thanks to those guys for allowing me to use some of their footage in this video.

In the end, I think you’ll see that shooting a bow instinctively and aiming a barebow with no sights are more similar than different. So next time someone mentions one as superior, remember that they’re just different.
