I agree I'm just striving for relaxed balance at anchor not a ridged hold. It seems the more relaxed I am the smaller the float.

Team Montana - we are coming for your quarters ;-)
That's what I am now working on now.
If I let the tip float I pull the shot right slightly as I expand to release. I think the 2mm explain why I was on at 20 yards and off 3-4" at 30 yards.
I was watching a video of coach Brown, think, of GB. In two different segments he said to get in side the bow, with good bone alignment, you can relax. I had forgotten this from my compound days. He then said to not focus on the sight but only the target. That part made me realize. That I was doing it wrong and on top of that I had instructed the 6 grade kids at science camp to do it his way, sort of.
Some of the right handed kids, when viewed from behind aimed left and shot left. At first I thought it was the bow setup that was on loan. But some of the other kids shot center only high. After 100 kids I came to think about this more. So the other parent and myself shot the kids bow. Lol. Sure enough we both hit left. Why. We and the kids followed the instruction given,"point the tip of the arrow at the center of the target".
After Five shots I moved the tip just right and looked at the gold. Arrow landed bullseye. The next arrow I didn't shoot I just, well I have to say it's pretty easy to relax with a kids bow, which by the way was the point coach Brown brought out in the video, and expanded which naturally pulled the shot over.
Well now what to tell the kid. To much information, right. Wrong. The one's that did all the setup right but hit left, I instructed to first point their left hand index finger at the center of the target and then simply replace that finger point with the arrow tip. It worked.
When I got home I had to figure out why was this possible? I simply instructed them to point just right of the spot.
Or, It clearly show that POA can be off if you suffer from near sighteness.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_dominance
Ocular dominance, sometimes called eye dominance or eyedness,[1] is the tendency to prefer visual input from one eye to the other.[2] It is somewhat analogous to the laterality of right or left handedness; however, the side of the dominant eye and the dominant hand do not always match.[3] This is because both hemispheres control both eyes, but each one takes charge of a different half of the field of vision, and therefore a different half of both retinas. There is thus no direct analogy between "handedness" and "eyedness" as lateral phenomena.
Approximately two-thirds of the population is right-eye dominant and one-third left-eye dominant;[1][4][5][6] however in a small portion of the population neither eye is dominant. Dominance does appear to change depending upon direction of gaze[2][7] due to image size changes on the retinas.[8] There also appears to be a higher prevalence of left-eye dominance in those with Williams-Beuren syndrome,[9] and possibly in migraine sufferers as well.[10] Eye dominance has been categorized as "weak" or "strong";[11] highly profound cases are sometimes caused by amblyopia or strabismus.
In those with anisometropic myopia (i.e. different amounts of nearsightedness between the two eyes), the dominant eye has typically been found to be the one with more myopia.[12][13]

Importance[edit]In normal binocular vision there is an effect of parallax, and therefore the dominant eye is the one that is primarily relied on for precise positional information. This may be especially important in sports which require aim, such as archery, darts or shooting sports.It has been asserted that cross-dominance (in which the dominant eye is on one side and the dominant hand is on the other) is advantageous in sports requiring side-on stances (e.g. baseball, cricket, golf);[14] however, studies within the last 20 years have shown this not to be the case. In a 1998 study of professional baseball players, hand-ocular dominance patterns did not show an effect on batting average or ERA.[15] Similarly, in 2005, a South African study found that "cricketers were not more likely to have crossed dominance" than the normal population.[16]
Ocular dominance is an important consideration in predicting patient satisfaction with monovision correction in cataract surgery,[17] refractive surgery, also laser eye surgery, and contact lens wear.

Well now I'm confused or maybe not. Maybe the coach is right.
So I began to make adjustments. Point on the spot and peek with my head slightly out to get a clear focus on the target then back in with the point blurred.
Ok shooting was the results.
How to teach the subconscious to aim is were I'm at.
The problem with traditional is we cannot sight thru the point of the arrow. Now if you gap your ok until point on. That's my problem. I pick a spot, aim shoot. With the tip just right I don't have to peek and as I said expanding put it on.
