exactly!1" netting?? blimey, never mind an arrow you could throw a javelin through that!
Didnt work too well at Agincort :raspberry (sorry I couldnt resist it :beer::cupcake Best to go to the club where you can shoot safelyIf you were to use or make a 'safety' net it would need to be made of a fine chain mail material
just to clarify - at shooting distances up to 60 yards/metres the minimum distance from the shooting line to the end of the range must be 110 yds. At higher shooting distances there must be 50 yards overshoot.....The standard I believe is 150 yards past the target....
Ahh, I think what I've done is added the longest shooting distance (100 yards) and the overshoot, giving 150 yards, and then quoted that as the overshoot. Thanks for the correction.just to clarify - at shooting distances up to 60 yards/metres the minimum distance from the shooting line to the end of the range must be 110 yds. At higher shooting distances there must be 50 yards overshoot.
unless shooting with a mechanical release aid, when its 150 yds minimum with a fixed shooting line and 200 yards (250 yards for mechanical release aids) otherwisejust to clarify - at shooting distances up to 60 yards/metres the minimum distance from the shooting line to the end of the range must be 110 yds. At higher shooting distances there must be 50 yards overshoot.
I agree with provins - the construction type netting does NOT work at all - I tried.May i just say out of devilment that it gets my goat when i see the same product use for some thing else and the price is bloody extortionate. I will explain:
i have just taken up archery with my daughter and as such got the usual magazines, had a look and what do you know there it was "yes the best arrow stop netting you can get" phone for pricing.
Ok i work in construction and the next time you are passing a construction site and you see scaffolding up with that lovely Blue or Green netting up at the scaffold (remember this is designed to stop bricks and other falling debris), just stop and ask the site scaff if he has any lying around, a role of 20 or 30 meters would cost you a drink or two. Its also good for the garden to keep pests off your seedlings.
Also the super markets sell little rubber rounds for taking the tops off obstinate jam jars, they can be used for pulling arrows.
