I tend to mix it up. Inside 40 yards I shoot instinctive, past 40 yards on targets and 3-D I shoot point of aim.  Gap is similar.  I use point of aim / gap to compensate for my lack of experience at long range shooting.  As that grows I will switch back over to instinctive as my brain starts to judge the shots better.

The best archers will use both along with point of aim and anything else that will work to get the arrow to the mark.You do it long enough and any methods you use will become instinctive in the way you do it to the point you don't know how you shoot.jmo

I agree with what Rick Welch says. Every one gap shoots; it is just if you gap shoot subconsiously which is instinctively or consiously. I am a student of Rick and am trying to improve more on my eye/hand memory so I can be subconsious with my shooting at every distance.
