Grant Richardson has written many articles in Traditional Bowhunting Magazines and I had the opportunity to speak to him about the "One Instinctive Aiming Drill Almost No One Practices (But Should)"...
You don’t need your bow for this.
You don’t need a range.
All you need is two quiet minutes.
The Drill ⬇️
Minute 1:
Sit down. Pick ONE spot across the room.Lock in. No movement. No drifting.
Minute 2:
Raise your bow arm and visualize:
Draw → anchor → release → hold.
Visualize whatever you shoot - target, 3D, or an animal. The brain doesn’t know the difference between real reps and focused visualization.
Why This Works âś…
- Trains focus and concentration
- Builds instinctive aiming pathways
- Exposes weakness under pressure
- Sharpen skills even when you can’t shoot
Instinctive shooting is a perishable skill. If you don’t train it, you lose it.
This drill keeps you sharp - even off the range.
👇 Question for the group: What breaks your focus the fastest when you’re shooting - movement, noise, or pressure?
Let’s talk.
