RE: aiming a recurve
kza, that is the "gap". The further back you are from the target, the less gap you will have, until you get to your "point on" distance--the distance where (at full draw) you put the point of the arrow where you want it to hit. Beyond that, the gap goes in the opposite direction. If you shoot split finger, the gap will probably be somewhere between 50-70 yds. You can reduce the gap at closer distancesby shooting 3 fingers under the nock.
Good luck!
