Hi folks,
I enjoy making stuff and thought I might have a go at 3d printing a mirrored clout sight for recurve, something like this: CHAMPION Clout Sight
or this:
However, if I make it, I would like to be able to use it and am struggling to work out if it would be legal for recurve. I imagine it would be fine for compound unlimited.
I've looked through all the threads on here, there is one from 2006 where a now 'Deleted' user posted that a mirror was not counted as a prism so is legal. In a more recent one from 2017, some agree based on the word prism being very specific and would therefore be a lens. Others disagree arguing that the purpose of a prism is to change the path of light, which a double mirror certainly does even if it isn't a lens. The UK rules state that the definition is the same as World Archery.
World Archery rule:
Has anybody tried one at a UK shoot or have any knowledge of a judge specifically banning or allowing it (in UK) ?

World Archery rule:
I've trawled the WA rulebook and through the interpretations. There are plenty of interpretations to do with sights, but nothing that relates to this or the definition of a prism.11.1.5.1. It shall not incorporate a prism, lens, or any other magnifying device, levelling, electric or electronic devices nor shall it provide for more than one sighting point.
