Instinctive Archery

Generally speaking, the great appeal of instinctive archery is that the archer dispenses with the assistance of all high-tech equipment such as sights, stabilisers, clickers, etc., and shoots in a more traditional fashion called “barebow”. It returns the archer to the basics, or to the essentials of archery, shooting naturally and using a “crooked stick” to shoot another stick. (Although it does make use of the latest modern bows, as distinct from “primitive” archery which usually means that the archer has made their own bow in a literally primitive fashion.)

Some instinctive archers aim by sighting down the arrow but others simply use hand-eye coordination and lots of practice, relying on an intuitive sense of where to aim; hence the name instinctive archery. (See the Greyarcher YouTube videos.)
