It is interesting when the act of focusing takes away from the activity
such as carrying a glass of water. If you consciously try to balance it
to avoid spilling, it gets worse, if you trust your instincts, it
generally goes better. My theory is that when you consciously try to do
it, you engage a lot of extra machinery which adds latency, and that is
why you get "out of sync" vs when you try the intuitive way.

'Zen and the Art of Archery'  It's an interesting feeling when it all
clicks. I always shot stick bows right handed with no sights. On good days
it just happens. When my right eye developed a cataract I switched to a
left handed compound bow. Compound bows have a sights and I could use them
effectively. Time goes on and I had a couple of operations on my left eye
and couldn't use the sights effectively. I was going to give the bow away
but then realized I'd always shot recurves instinctively, why not
compounds. I took the sights off and it seems to be working.

This is the truth! Or basketball, sometimes (when I was young) I just "feel" that this shot will be a success.
I have a longbow and it is quite a nice hobby! Sadly I only get to shoot it about 1 month per year or so. But... once the fortress of solitude is built, I will be able to go outside and shoot every single day! =)
Now... if I could just find a good plot and a reasonable price! =/

Handguns can be the same. The sights are there and you sort of see them
but when you're firing in under .3 seconds there isn't a whole lot of
thinking going on.

Reminds me of the book Shoot to kill by Fairbairn, I think his philosophy was a lot about the intuitive way to shoot.
