Hi everyone.
Having started to shoot more and more Fita field competitions recently im having difficulty getting my head around adjusting my sight to compensate for gradual and severe uphill/downhill shots, and as a result this is costing me crucial points.
My understanding is that on all downhill shots you take off distance and on uphill shots you add distance up to a certain gradient before taking off distance again.
As my club is mainly a target club, I dont have access to a field club to practise these types of shots and can only experiment during a real competition
I understand that this depends on your setup and arrow speed etc but i would be interested to hear how experienced field archers, especially compound shooters (like myself) cope with these types of shots and what their practice and experience has shown them.
Finally can anyone recommend a book that would explain "field craft" especially judging distance etc?
Thanks for your repies,
Rob
