Any one up for trad archery?

[Johnny Savage]

I'm trying the recurve for the first time. I'm struggling to say the least. 50# Ben Pearson Cougar, 28" aluminum Easton arrows, 5" feathers w/ left helical. I'm deadly at 5 yards and that's about the extent of it. It's about 8 weeks until showtime. I'm trying to shoot total instinctive, no sighting methods, no aiming the arrow, no gap method, etc.. I'm told if I shoot enough at close range and gradually increase the distance that it will become as natural as throwing a ball. No aiming required. I remain skeptical but determined. I'm looking for 4" grouping at 20 yards. Realistic goal or not????

Any comments/opinions welcome.
