I shoot longbow target shooting, at longer distances, look to see if I have hit the target if so where.... if not are the arrows falling short or too long...Just curious but how do you use them?, look at the target and then look around the target for clues of distance?

Had similar problem with a 4X scope sight years ago. It was a 2D wild boar target in deep cover. I just could not see anything through the scope lens just black and had to take guess. Consequently I think I shot it in th ass! So for the second round I taped a small tourch to the stabilizer. There was much thumbing through rule books and a lot of head scratching but as nobody could find anything to say it couldn't be done, I was allowed my shot. I had to remove it straight afterwards....still shot it in the ads as I remember but at least I could see where I missed.Oops - I default to target !
Same applies for field/3D with regard to checking off the centre line to give the best view of your impact point - this is my experience from rifle shooting courses over the years - but as the field courses I have seen tend to be in forestry then I really recommend more expensive optics as these will give far better low light resolution. As with a riser go for the best you can afford.
As an example from my serious bird watching days I would go as part of a county group to wetlands reserves and amongst us we would have bins from ?50 to ?1000 a set. As dusk settled in with us in hides then it became simple to compare low light capability as people would declare when they lost the ability to pick out roosting waders - without exception it was the Leica & Swarovski that would still be going maybe half an hour or more longer than cheaper models of equivalent magnification & lens diameter.
In full summer in the depths of a woodland the light levels are low enough to make optic performance noticeable.

In WA / AGB field archery you shoot 3 arrows from one peg. You can use them before the first shot to see if there is any pattern in the holes in the target face, if there is then people are getting fooled by the course lay out or terrain so you can hopefully avoid the same trap. You then check again after shooting the first arrow to check where it hits, and can adjust if needed.Just curious but how do you use them?, look at the target and then look around the target for clues of distance?
