I go for pin point accuracy. My favorite thing to do is fold one of my business cards in half and pin it to my target. It's amazing how easy it is to hit after a bad day at work
I love shooting my bow, but I only hunt with my bow, so I only shoot how I hunt. I hunt from a treestand, so I only shoot from elevated positions, on either a treestand or a small elevated platform.(first picture 15ft) here's my backyard setup, out to 55 yards max. 20 yards to 3d target, 45 yards over the hammocks lol 25 yards to the woodline/target from the deck my 13 year old 20 feet up on the woodline me 25' up last july...
Not much of one anymore. Will probably practice a little though before the GTG this June, we'll see if I still have it or not then. Many of our members that have been around here a while already know, but several years ago I got pretty entrenched in competitive archery. I haven't been serious about it since probably 2008, I just kinda burned out. I shot indoor, 3D, FITA, and field and loved them all. I was best at 3D though. I never had the time or money to test myself at the national level but I did win a few state titles and also won/placed at the regional level as well. I got the 2006 ASA State Championship in hunter class, 4th place in the state FITA event for open class, 3rd place in the hunter class at the Harrisburg indoor event, 3rd place in semi pro for the IBO Northeast Indoor Championship, and a handful of others I'm not thinking of as well.
Does anyone else find that when they try too hard to hit too small of a target they actually shoot worse? That is why in my first post I mentioned a softball sized target. If I try to aim at anything smaller I tend to start trying to anticipate the shot and punching the trigger, which for me quickly brings on target panic.
Yes. All of the best indoor games I've ever shot were after a week of 10 yard practice on a full sized target. You need to learn how to 100% trust the float in your sight picture.
