Tournamenting chez Aire Valley Archers today (thankyou all for a great day BTW)
I experience a 'pass through...' something I had only known of previously after visits to poor quality curry houses. In this instance I'm shooting my ACCs in a Portsmouth round, sharing the target with another recurve guy & a compound shooter.
Lo and behold the arrow goes straight through the target ( (it was a ten I tell you!!!) & hits the netting behind. This was confirmed by the judges. I score 0 for the shot. What caused this? It's a new target (quite dry), I am shooting with a compound guy who'se hurling sections of mains piping into the target, my draw weight is about 36 pounds. Presumably this won't happen again for another 10 years, or is it actually symptomatic of compound/recurve sharing the same target.. or a poor quality target?
