What is the usual string/sight picture for ELB? I've been shooting a while with mine now, and managed reasonable scores with a sort of instinctive style, where I looked at the arrow tip and offset it against the target... worked ok out to about 30 yards., but at 40 yards I'm struggling to get scores more than high 20's each end, and last night shot 3dozen, with only 1 end with all 6 on the straw.... a fellow longbowman suggested I sight between the string and the outside of the bow limb, which at least allows me to look more directly down the arrow.. but when i do this, if I'm not really careful about eye dominance, I send the arrow way off to the left, and in any case then have to set the bow way off to the right of the target to sight. I use an O ring for elevation.
I am right handed and VERY right eye dominant... left eye only has partial vision, and I draw to the underside of my chin (years of recurve shooting)
Is there something else I should be doing ?
