Anyone here into instinctive archery? Long bows or recurves with no sights?

If so, how does this effect your riflecraft? Is it at all problematic?

Instinctive archery requires a target focus, right? That's opposite of the front sight or reticle focus necessary for good rifle marksmanship. It seems something more akin to point shooting a pistol than to rifle marksmanship.

Just curious if any of you here that do a lot of instinctive archery frequently find yourself behind a rifle realizing that you are trying to shoot with a target focus instead of focusing on your crosshairs or front sight.
