Thanks for watching.@@deepavarma9060

Basically, with both eyes open, you focus on the spot on the target you want to shoot, but at the same time, you're also aware and aiming the gap with the arrow in your peripheral. At least that's how I see it. There are many videos on KZfaq that explain it better than I can. Try CatholicHack's videos, he has one on split vision. Or search for Byron Ferguson split vision aiming.

In a split vision style your focus is on the target with the arrow in your peripheral vision. Gapping at the bow is another effective method. It's all about finding what works best for you.

The way I shoot split vision is I use a split finger grip anchoring the arrow on the very corner of my lip and I close one eye, using the tip of my arrow to line me up with r bullseye left to right, then I instinctively calculate my elevation to shoot at. I switched to this method from just shooting instinctively and the difference is night and day. I'd recommend reading hunting the hard way by Howard Hill. He goes over the split vision method there

That is basically what I was taught, but it is a combination of both of them. My focus is on the spot while the gap is set in the window . It is like invisible pins , so to speak. This was called gap shooting while picking a spot below the target to put the arrow tip on at the target was termed pick a point. So I have a point on of 44 yards and the biggest gap I have is 1-1/8 inch in the riser window at 15 yards . It gets tighter as you move towards the point on distance. It is especially helpful aiming system when you have nothing at the target to measure down on such as a small 3d target sitting on the ground or elevated higher on a limb .

Finding what works best for you is what archery is all about. Sounds like instinctive is the ticket for you.

Thats cause it is a modern bow. But it’s the exact same thing, it’s just made with modern materials and more precise calculations. You can do the same things with a string on a stick but you’re only handicapping yourself with inconsistencies. A basic takedown recurve is essentially a longbow or horse bow that is just built better. And an Olympic ILF just takes that further

The horse bow IS a recurve bow and recurves have been around since at least 2000 BCE. They don't get more "traditional" than that.

@@terraphon BCE?

@@shanedarden5238 Before the Common Era. It's a non-religious way of referring to the calendar and means "BC" but without all the assumptions. CE is equivalent to "AD".

@@terraphon i know what it is I was just questioning why people use it? Its always been BC does Christ bother people that bad. We've taken him out of everything else so why not I guess

Pro trick: you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

I see

Mate you got to help us lowly peasants out with understanding what your saying, what about the methods shown would damage the entorhinal cortex, and what is that? Google says it "is an area of the brain located in the medial temporal lobe and functioning as a hub in a widespread network for memory, navigation and the perception of time." And all methods of aim are ruled by what thing exactly? If I had to guess I'd say entorhinal cortex? What are you trying to say man!?
