Instinctive aiming

Instinctive aiming

Instinctive aiming is a technique used by trained archers and marksmen to improve general accuracy when using a bow, firearm, or other ranged weapon. By developing a feel for a given weapon such as a pistol, the shooter can become so accustomed to the weapon's weight and where it is aimed that they can remain relatively accurate without the need to focus on the sights of the gun to aim. By continuously practicing with a weapon, a shooter can develop a subconscious coordination between their eyes, hands, and brain, utilizing a natural human sense known as Proprioception to aid in the proper and accurate use of a ranged weapon to the point that they can fire said weapon on 'instinct'.
