Is Kyudo an aimed shot or an instinctive shot? How accurate can you get with this method of archery? What is a typical poundage for your long bows??

[littlestred]

It is both aimed and instinctive, but it takes many, many years to achieve a level of proficiency. It is very different to Western archery in that hitting the 'correctly' is incredibly difficult. A beginner may employ various 'instinctive' but incorrect techniques to achieve a hit, but it is only after many years of training and self development that one can achieve a correct hit. Bow weight ranges from 8 kgs for beginners to over 20 kgs for more experienced kyudoka.
