I will apologize up front if this isn’t the proper place for this type of a post. I’m a new member, this my first post, I don’t normally have much worth contributing, and am still “learning my way around this website.  The “SEARCH” function regularly kicks my butt; I keep getting a weird dialog box when attempting a 2-word search. Anyway…..

To Whomever put the article up (Tip of the Week?) about practicing/shooting by G. Fred Asbell:

Thank you, VERY MUCH, for having this article on the website!

I’m guilty of looking for a “mythical shortcut” to accurate instinctive shooting. I have  watched countless youtube videos, re-read Mr. Asbell’s book “Instinctive Shooting”, re-watched his video, and read & posted questions at other internet message boards. All this was an attempt to improve my instinctive shooting accuracy.  A big chunk of that time would have likely been better spent sending a few arrows at my target, I’m feeling now.

The weather here in western Oregon where I live has actually allowed a bit of time to practice between rains & showers nearly every day. While I’m not shooting as well as I wish to be, I am beginning to see slight improvement. I now realize its gonna take time and arrows flung down range to “get better”. In my case, where I have little “natural talent” for archery, it’ll likely be months before I get to where I can consistently hit what my benchmark of “acceptable hunting accuracy” is. It’s okay; I’m retired and have time……

Thanks to whoever is in charge of getting these articles on this site. If no one ever says that your work is appreciated, I certainly am grateful for your work & efforts. There’s probably more to running a site like this than I’ll ever know. Again, thank you.
