RE: Bow Trap Shooting
AK, thanks
Pretty rewarding to hit birds on the wing. You should be proud. We want to get more people better in practice on clay pidgeons. It can make all archers better shots. I suppose people could use some type of sight, but I feel instinctive is the way to go.
Byran Ferguson is who your are talking about. Not many people can be that good or even want or have the time to try.
I' ve seen those " shotgun" arrows you are talking about. They do not perform well at all because you must accelerate not only the weight of the shot, but also the weight of the arrow. The arrow is a waste because it is not used for the impact of the target.
We do not use a pouch on the string either. It is a special sabot that is fired though a reciprocating tube. Very safe this way! Archer still holds the draw weight when he releases. It is incredible and fun to shoot. I have no doubt you would love it. Your success rate would climb. More challenging with a bow than a gun, isn' t it? You must have fun. I feel a lot more people would be able to do the same because we have an inexpensive and fun way to practice. Nothing gets wounded either. I noticed you use a stick bow. Ours is a compound but you' re making me think here. I should make one with a recurve. It would be much lighter as well. Thanks again.
