I've started letting the string inside (left) of my shooting eye. Subjectively or instinctively keeping the arrow pointed at the target seems to work; I'm doing ok, laterally. I expected some kind of right/left bias depend on a "strong" eye but maybe not, or maybe I'm just scattering them so much I can't tell yet. Here's a recommendation to draw it to your nose! After watching some examples on youtube, a lot of the good shooters seem to do it that way, and anchor under their chins, too. Centering the string on my eye was irritating and was a distracting effort.
Paying careful attention to the strength of my draw, I notice I tend to let off a little: I could draw more. When I do, it seems worth a foot of drop & I often overshoot the target. Either way I hit my wrist with the bowstring pretty much every time. As far as range goes, that pretty much eludes me so far.
Here's another guy shooting with the nock well above his hand, looking right down the arrow.
Here's me, shooting. This guy at witchery of archery talks about instinctive shooting a little.
