Hi all
I'm a fairly experienced recurve target archer about to do my first WA field shoot for 5 years (and then I only did the one). I'm trying to remember all the things that I learnt on that first comp, that I've forgotten since.
I think I have a good idea of how to gauge distance to unmarked targets using my sight pin as a measure, but what actually are the rules/opinions around doing that? I seem to remember it being frowned upon, but people doing it anyway. Can I raise my bow without an arrow nocked to measure the distance, or do you have to "pretend" that you're going to shoot with an arrow nocked?
I'm going to take binoculars with me, so I'm trying to get used to shooting with them around my neck and I'll take a backpack with drinks, nibbles and tools with me. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips in these areas?
Is there anything else I need to know Open ended question I know....
Any tips would be much appreciated
Alex
