Aiming

One thing all articles have in common about proper aiming is the need to be relaxed. Aiming is a subconscious process and not a conscious process. The subconscious mind excels at lining things up in circles. A suggested way to do this is to simply look at the target and let your sight ring or dot become "background" as you concentrate on the bulls-eye. That is, let your subconscious mind take control and let it line up all the circles or dots until finally the release simply "happens" (a forced release would be a conscious effort).

Your should have a clearly visible sight pin, but not one that distracts you (if you find yourself fascinated by the glow of a fiber optic pin, you will have a hard time concentrating on the target). Make sure any peep and/or clarifier allows you a good visual picture of the dot and target. It’s hard to concentrate and focus if you have to squint to see the target. It is much harder to aim through a ring or cross-hairs that you cannot see.

When you look at the spot you want to hit, let your body take over and "perform" the shot. Don`t think about any part of the shot and never take your eyes off the target. The time to think about any part of your shot sequence is when you practice at the range or in the backyard. That is the time to "think" about certain areas of your form or shot sequence.
