Instinctive archery. yessss.

I have a real appreciation for instictive shooting, archery and firearm...before I ever touched a gun, I was a damn good instictive archer...(cheap composite and wood recurves, sorry)...when I first picked up a firearm, it came very naturally...IMO, most people fall in love with fancy sights and gadgets...when I shoot a handgun, I don't aim, I point, the pistol an extension of my arm...I hit...In a gunfight, if you have to sight in, your wrong...I'm alive because of instictive shooting...

I've sold out, and use compounds now... when I get the time after I retire, I think I'll go back to recurves and longbows...

I am a natural, I think, with handguns. I consistently shoot tight accurate groups and kindof always have.

That is why I was so flummoxed when I got my shotgun and could not hit a clay pigeon to save my life. I had to work really hard at it, every week, for months, and at the end I was still only 15 for 20 on a good day.

Hunting alone most of the time, I actually began to think my dogs would never understand the goal. I thought they would forever think the whole purpose for being there was to watch the pretty birds fly away! Luckily, with my dad coming along a few times and helping with the shooting, we were able to down a few.

I think my shotgun fits, and I understand fit is everything in shotgunning... I have had folk look at my gun "on me".... but it just didn't come easy the way pistol shooting did.
