Most of the field shoot went well yesterday; my distance judging improved and at 20-50 yards all
was good; over 50 and I underestimated twice but that?s easily sortable.
However whoever designed the course clearly decided to make life very tricky for compounds: fair enough as we?re all evil.
Most targets had the compound peg a heck of a lot further than the red marker (or squeezed between a tree or even shooting through a curved old one!) but two super short range ones had the compound marker way closer; on one I was not far off touching it with the long rod! Anyway I was rubbish at them; clearly needs some thought. Some suggested setting the sight to 40 or more yards (aiming at them resulted in a very low arrow) as there is no sight/eyeline convergence.
Any tips? I?ll experiment in the garden but any short cuts would be good!
Funny learning form form form, repeat repeat repeat on target archery then throwing it all out of the window squeezing around trees, onto very uneven ground or even kneeling; great fun!!
