Intuitiv – Instinktiv – Traditional Archery
Set your sights on the goal, focus, concentrate and let go.
Sounds so simple – and it is!
Instinctive archery, also known as traditional or intuitive archery, is about using the bow without aiming aids such as sights or peep sights and instead relying on your own feelings and instincts.
This type of archery requires intense concentration, body control and mental strength.
In instinctive archery, the archer does not consciously aim at a specific target, but releases the arrow based on practice, experience and feeling.
It is a traditional and often meditative form of archery that emphasizes the connection between the archer, bow and target.
This technique requires a lot of practice and experience to achieve precise hits and is very popular with many archers.
The archer uses only his hand-eye-body coordination and subconscious memory to guide his arrow into the target. In other words, the archer shoots his arrow at the point he is looking at with concentration, without consciously estimating the distance to this point and without using aids such as a sight or reference points.
I would be happy to accompany you on your archery journey, look over your shoulders and share my experiences and insights with you.
In „instinctive shooting ”, the subconscious is used for aiming. A distinction must be made between unconscious and subconscious. Unconscious is essentially innate, subconscious is learned. If you are frightened, you do it unconsciously, if you climb stairs, you do it subconsciously. This aiming technique should actually be called “subconscious aiming”. Here, a table is created in the subconscious with the perceived distance in one column and the firing angle in the other column. When you see the target, the bow arm automatically moves into the correct position. This is actually the hand-eye coordination that Fred Asbell talks about. However, it takes a lot of time and practice to master this. Dietmar Vorderegger, 3D archery 2/2016
