The Way
ontarget1 ontarget2
The MacDaill Way uses marks on the upper limb of the bow as sights. Try shooting a few arrows at 20 yds., then make a guess where to put your mark. Make a mark with white stripping tape or china marker. Try placing the edge of your mark on one spot on the target and shoot and adjust your mark, untill you are making consistant groups.

The Way

If you adjust the mark properly, it will always line up on the gold as far as elevation is concerned. As to the left-right, you can find a point on the target to place your mark that will consistantly group your arrows in the center. Alternativly, you can use the point of the arrow to determine left-right. On any given day you may have to readjust your marks to take changes in temperature into account. As long as your form is consistant, this method will surely work for anyone!
