What is "Split Vision" aiming mean???

[PastorSteveHill]

I've read post of guys saying they shoot "SPLIT VISION" type aiming style. Could someone explain this to me?  Thanks in advance...

Think of it as being aware of your arrow, while concentrating on the spot you want to hit.

Gapstinctive, if you will....

Steve,
That's how I describe the way I shoot.

Basically, my focus is on the target but I am aware of the arrow tip in relation to the target.

I'm right-handed and "left eyed" so I see the arrow below and to the right of the target.

Hey I'm off work all next week...planning on making a loggy bayou trip later in the week.

In a nut shell, it's focusing on the point to be hit, but still being aware of the arrows (the tip) relationship with the target.

As an excersise try what Howard Hill suggested.

Pick a point on a wall as your imaginary target. While focusing your vision on that point and not looking away, point your finger at a different point several feet away.

It just shows (and trains your concentration) that you can focus one place and point another.

For instance... I know that at 15 yards the tip of my arrow will line up with the feet of my 3D deer. I can focus at the point on the deer I want to hit and place the tip of my arrow on the feet of the target without losing concentration on the spot to hit.

If the target is closer or further I can make the needed adjustment without changing focus on the spot to hit.

Very handy for learning where to hold and it becomes quite "instinctive" after a while.

Well explained Charlie. It's how I shoot also, or perhaps try would be better.

I call myself a gap shooter. My gaps are not nearly as much as some of you guys talk about. Maybe six inches below what I want hit at 20 yards. Might be more instintive than gap.
