Here are TEN things to stop doing when shooting instinctive.

Do not shoot groups.  It is best to change targets at ramdom to create a "natural" ability to place your bow hand at the exact spot to launch the arrow.

Do not second guess your bow arm.

Do not snap shoot or release the arrow as soon as you reach your face, or when the impulse encourages.  It is best to hold for a couple of seconds to stablize your bow before release.

Do not tell yourself to release, allow it to happen naturally on its own.

Do not think about anything when target shooting.

Do not think or evaluate your success by where the arrow lands when working technique.

Do not talk to yourself before shooting or during the process.

Do not look down the arrow to "aim".

Do not use the tip of the arrow to gauge the "gap" .  Although many shoot well using this system, it is usually limited to target shooting under controlled environment.

Do not concern yourself over the posibility of loosing your arrow.  This the biggest reason archers mess up.  I speak from personal experience.

Hope this helps guys and gals. Any comments welcome pros or cons.
