I started learning to shoot after Christmas. I'm doing what they call "instinctive" right now, no sight or anything (gap, stringwalking, etc...) just pointing and thinking "I want to hit the bullseye."
I'm only shooting from about 12 yds. Once I improve and get more consistent, I'll move back to 15 and eventually 20yds.
I've been shooting "split" (one finger above the arrow on the string, and 2 below the arrow) which is what felt the most natural.
Between cold and/or rainy weather and a cold, I ended up taking off 2 weeks. When I got back to it, I was shooting better than ever.
For this one, I switched to "three under" so all three fingers are under the arrow. The arrows didn't go where I wanted, but that's to be expected. Changing your fingers on the strings changes where the arrows go (should only be up/down). But I was very happy with the grouping.
While ^that day^ (first day back after the break) was mostly very good, it was also a bit of a fluke.
I'm switching to 3 under because I like some aspects of it better. It's tough going from shooting reasonably well to shooting much worse and trying to get into a new groove.
From today, not bad. I'm seeing consistent improvement after switching to 3 under.
