Thread: Practice

One of the positive spin offs of lockdown is that it has provided lots of time for target practice.

25 yards.

sure is for getting eye in.

have a 25lb bow and four diferent arrows.....managed to snap heads off both wooden ones today so gave up..... looks like you have things down pretty well pat.

Still just learning. Plenty of work to be done.

Nice mate! The great thing about archery is that you never stop learning - your bow, your quarry and yourself.

Mate these two guys here...



Have been taking an absolute pounding from the boys bows + arrows of late.

They love it Trouble is we are running out of arrows.....might have to make some

Awesome shooting.
I'd be lucky to get a group like that with my rifle

Yeh I know what you mean
As I say in the video that 40 yrd group sadly isn’t the norm and I filmed it because it was so good .
I can average about a 3 inch group at 40 yrds and that is below minute of Bow ( 1 inch for every 10 yrds )
I filmed myself for only a couple of groups because I have cranked up the poundage on my Bow and wanted to see my form at drawing that higher weight. You can see that I’m not that smooth but it will become easier as I continue.
I’m also drawing the Bow differently than what I used to and that really shows up your strength, but it is better in the long run and limits the chance of shoulder injury etc .

Been hammering the practice lately aswell. 50 yard group I'm pretty happy with it.

25 yard field tip and broad head shot. Cant ask for better then that!

I managed to shoot a piece of whitebread at 47m the other day. Changing from a trigger to a backtension has been a major
