Title: Recurves and shooting styles
Post by: Interseptor on May 28, 2007, 04:09:00 PM
This past saturday, I had the opportunity to shoot in the NC state trad event.  It was a great experience and I met a lot of good folks!  I also got a chance to meet some new bowyers and see some bows that I had only read about ( Ancient Spirit was there and I also saw an Adock longbow!). After shooting the course, I got the chance to shoot a Robertson T/D recurve.  The guy who owns the bow is actually a longbow guy and bought the bow for his son.  It's specs are 48lbs at 28inches, a sixty inch bow.  Now I normally cant my bow at one oclock when I shoot.  And when I shot the Robertson, the wood arrows drifted to the left and dropped low.  When I can't to 3oclock, the arrows started grouping inside of the vital circle on the target.  Has anyone else had this experience?
