<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> Arthur are you telling us that string walkers and face walkers do not have to have consistant anchor points???? Like heck they don't!!! If a 1/64th of an inch is important to a sight shooter its also important to the other classes of archery. We have had some string walkers at our club, and I think counting stitches on your tab or wraps of serving is a bit difficult at times. How about finding multiple anchors on your face to perform the face walk. How consistant is the inconsistancy to all of this. I do shoot fingers and no sights with my recurve and shoot pretty well comparatively to 20 yds, the limit of my practiced ability for traditional hunting. The fact is that a release is much cleaner, a peep and sights are much more accurate. Otherwise the FITA, NAA, ASA, IBO, and NFAA field and indoor scores would reflect something much different.

Arthur I also feel that a fatiqued archer is just that regardless of the style of archery. I have been there when a barebow or traditional archer tires, the performance drops drastically. At least with sights and pins you have mechanical aids to assist getting you into fairly good shooting position. I agree there are advantages to no sights or peep such as running or walking animal shots. The downside is accuracy for most traditional archers compared to those with sight aimming systems. If I were the archer that won the trad. recently at the NFAA nationals with over a 2400 it would be a moot point. Unfortunately most of us are not that talented.

Aim Hard!
