Everyone wants to hit the bulls eye and sometimes it is just frustrating when you feel you just cant do it. 
Here is a method that I use and although it is only one way , I have found it to be the quickest.
I would say that on average , within 20 arrows we have a bulls eye or a near bulls eye on the target
What really gets people's attention is that it gets easier as they move away from the target (to a point) out to 20-25 yards.
I generally start at 10 yards. , until we find what works and then start moving back.
It will work on most all bows although , bows should be properly tillerd for shooting under or walking the string.
This method (shown) is called string walking.
Walking is done by maintaining the same anchor at all times and moving the string hand up or down the string to effect the elevation of the arrow.
In the photo's below , my son (who does not shoot traditional) is walking the string for the first time.
Lets see how he does
AND NO WISE CRACKS ABOUT MY AREA!
...ITS WINTER HERE 
Above : Dave uses my anchor point (3/8" under) as a starting point.
Above : As I would have imagined....to high
He is going to have to move his hand down the string to make the arrow go lower
Above : As you can see , the nock of the arrow is now level with his eye rather than below it.
Above : here we have a lower impact (as was desired)and although not perfect , we are only on our second arrow and the progress is positive.
(This really was his second arrow too )
Above : At this point Dave is so far off my mark that he needs to find his holding point.
To do this , he uses his finger to measure and in this case he has marked from the tip of his finger to his second knuckle.
Above : Here is where he will simply move his hand forward from this chosen point and grasp the string.
Above : Now we can see that the arrows nock is above the eye and Dave is once again at the same anchor point in reference to his face.
Above : Here we can see that once again we are on point with our vertical line and are dropping our horizontal as is needed.
Rather than continue to eat up time we moved back to the 20 yard line .
Holding the second reference that Dave had chose at 10yrds. below you will see the effect on the Bulls Eye
A total of 11 shots to get to this point
By going Back to the second position ( Level with the eye) the arrow would now be dead on at 20 yards.
THATS MY BOY !

so are we sighting along the arrow? ie.eye, arrow or arrowhead and bullseye. 3 points that are in a row? little slow on the uptake here
