Hi thanks to everyone!
In response to Robtattoo ; I've been shooting since June. I haven't yet been able come to grips with the concept of "Spining" (Could somebody please elaborate?) A guy I know has been making me arrows. All the information I've been giving him is that my draw length is 27-28" and that my current bow is 65lb.
The arrows he has sent me are 3/8 poplar 34" from knock to pile tip and 23/64 pine 33" So might they be too long/heavy?
In all fairness the target is only 14 1/2" wide tho! I think I've started off with a tough nutt to crack so I doubt it helps my self confidence when I keep missing it!
To John Carter and Dangermouse ; Thanks I'll try the stance thing on Saturday, I was told by the fletcher I use to bring the rear foot back!
Alenesq ; That marking of the target sounds like the best way to test the matching of my arrows.
However I'll probably need a better target for this. Competetively speaking, what size target would I be shooting at in 60 yard (60cm?) and 100 yard (100-128cm?) competitions?
I'm looking to get some straw bosses for both.
Thanks guys! (I'm going to post some stance photos on saturday for you to examine!)
Oh and thanks for the praise, I had no Idea if I was doing any good! At least when I'm lookng for fallen arrows in my thick grass, on my hands and knees, they're normally no more than 70cm apart across!
