I have a good friend who shoots a trad bow with wooden arrows. He is new to archery, but has already started to shoot well and is now using a 45lb recurve.
I shoot compound and use carbon arrows and I occasionally detect that the air is a little 'dead' and that my arrows are falling a little low, but on two separate occasions, when conditions are warm and damp and the air in the woods was pretty still, my mate has found his arrows falling short.
I have watched this and they just seem to die in mid air, and not just on long shots. It seems like the arrows / feathers are taking on moisture and therefore slowing down badly.
Is this a recognised phenomenon amongst Trad archers?
We are both field archers BTW.
Any input gratefully received.
