I was watching the thread too...
44 views and no replies... Am in the right sub-forum for barebow discussion? I kind of have the feeling I've goofed it. Either that or I'm the only one doing it :eye-poppi
Can't be surely?
....& observed slowness of response , but didn't want to be first.
I shoot barebow (well actually any bow without sights)
but don't tend to take part in anything too formal - did shoot barebow in
a couple of GNAS clouts last year.
My club is unaffiliated although I am a GNAS member through another club.
I shoot both woods & alloys as the occasion grabs me, using a variety of bows:
1-piece recurves, TD-recurves, AFB,
longbow (woods only).
I only recently
bought my first set of alloys (I do have alloys but never bought
any new for my own bows) 12 X Gamegetters 2315s for my AFB - I usually shoot
tonkin bamboo, but thought I'd try alloys to eliminate difference/better match arrows to evaluate/concentrate on my technique.
Can't help with your aiming though, I don't consciously use anything to aim with - I point & shoot. Have been shooting trad.
longbow clout target (30" diam, 4" spot set at 45 degree) at 180yds - don't think I've ever hit it yet & same target at 100yds.
Spent last night shooting longbow(s) at 50-60yd 80cm target face preparing for a National next week - my first BLBS event.
