Questions on barebow clout
I've been shooting less than a year and never shot a comp or even a properly scored round (target). However this is largely due to my club being very small and the core members being much more oriented around clout. Anyway I've been doing some clout practice, using my recurve with all the stabs and and weights on but no sight, and I've been talked into doing an upcoming comp.
As a sight mark I've actually been using a button on my watch and/or a rivet on my bracer as a reference point (!).
I have been told I'm shooting well and the other evening was made up when I put 2 arrows through the flag in one end! oulies:
Anyway it was suggested if I was shooting like I was with no sight that I try barebow. So I took the rods off. It was suggested that the doinker I have in the top hole might be ok to have. This a weight with a rounded rubber piece between it and the riser, about 3" long in total. I didn't like the balance anyway and tried it in the bottom hole. Either way, reading the rules just now it seems likely that the rubber bit counts under shock absorbing devices, is that the case?
Are the barebow rules for clout the same as for target?
Is using rivets, straps etc on one's arm accoutrements (bracer and watch) as aimpoints ok?
How do most barebow shooters do it?
I haven't decided yet, as I wasn't keen on the way the bow tipped backwards, leading me to catch it on shooting. I might have time to jury rig something on the sight to shoot in recurve.
