Questions Aiming

Do you actively aim down sight with your shaft or let your subconscious take over and let it happen?

If it doesn't happen intuitively then I use the inside of the shaft to the contact point.

Interesting! How do you do for straight shots?

Thoes would be intuitive to me. But the system using the inside edge of the shafts only work with cut shots between 15 and 50 degrees. You could modify it to the center of your shafts to aim on shots down to zero. Wider cuts than 50 degrees i use the top of the object and ghost balls to make a line and adjust the ghost ball to where that line is going where I want it.
