I've been shooting recurve on and of for a while continuing mainly as a compound archer. I'm enjoying the recurve and may decide to make it my main discipline.
Last night someone pointed out that for IFAA field archery I can use a peep sight. So I fitted one. Once I got passed the issues with getting it to line up at anchor I started to get exceptional results at 20 yards. I came to realise that many of the bad shots that had felt good probably were good shots, except I had failed to get a consistent anchor or sight picture.
Anyway in case I want to shoot target as well as field I want to find out how to reproduce that accuracy of the rear sight, without a peep. I need reading glasses, so the string is a very wide blur. A kisser might help with the anchor.
How can I get a reproducible string picture when I can barely see the string?
Are some colours of string easier to see than others?
