Sights
Is it good to use sights on a Trad bow. I have seen them like that. is it good or not. or should you start without one like at 15 yrds and works your way back until you get good with the trade bow

RE: Sights
If you want to use sights on a traditional bow, you can. Olympic target archery is done with recurve bows. But if you are asking to use sights until you are confident enough to take them off and go instinctive, that's another thing. Shooting instinctively is an entirely different process. If you goal is to shoot instinctively, start close and as you get confident, extend your range.

Sights have been used for 100's of years.
Great tool for developing or checking good form. Once good form is learned, they can be removed (if you choose) and the learning curve to good barebow accuracy is greatly reduced. Steve |

Well, to use em, generally, you have to use an elevated rest and pretty well change around your whole form. You not longer have a barebow at that point, no shooting off the shelf, and generally no canting. I always thought it would be a good idea to have a slip on sight to check for bareshaft tuning.

You can absalutely do it. All in all though if you want to shoot sights why do it with a traditional bow, just stick to a compound then. You will be surprised on how good you can do with out sights shooting if you done some practicing. Give yourself a chance once instead of taking the other approach right of away.

No way don't do it. It would be totaly wrong.....LOL just messing with you. Do what feels right for you. But like others said if your goal is not to use them then give it a shot without them first. Get close and worry about form much more than acuracy. That will come with time.
I teach archery to 4H kids. We focus on form over acuracy every time. Forget where the arrow strikes just that it hits the target(so not to lose arrows) and focus on the same spot every time. You should get a group. Keep doing this and your group will move to where your focusing on. Move back farther and try again. do this over and over. |

RE: Sights
i thought that was one of the main reason people used a trad bow, over a compound
