> I do this for fun (with larger targets).

What are we talking? Like a peanut m&m? A macaroon?



Sorry, I know that part was ambiguous. I meant shooting my bow using an instinctive aiming technique. I don't throw things in the air usually. Just regular or 3D targets ("3D" in archery terms meaning fake animals).

People that do shoot moving targets from what I've seen might just use frisbees or the like. You kinda need a barn full of straw behind it.

If you want to learn more about instinctive archery, here's something on that from Clay Hayes ("Alone" season 8 winner): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mzWQ5_1bXtM and the whole channel is full of (serious - not stunt) archery stuff.

Here, found youtube footage of him shooting the deer that helped him win: https://youtu.be/tI5812NwiS0?t=86
