| C=the arrow rest must touch the arrow no further back (towards the archer) than 2c.m. from the throat of the grip. We usually want the arrow to contact the rest, just above the throat of the grip. It is possible to fix a plate to the riser and then fit a rest to that plate so that a shorter than normal arrow can be used;I think they are called overdraws. With one fitted you can shoot lighter and faster arrows which means sight marks are closer together. I know bare bow doesn't allow sights but they aim by other means and those means will be closer together, which you could say, makes it easier. Over draws are allowed but only short ones.
(i) The bow must be bare, except for items mentioned below, and free from
protrusions, marks, blemishes or laminated pieces which could be of use in aiming.
Multi-coloured risers are permitted.
That part is really about having no marks on the bow that could be used as a sighting aid. I have used the screw that holds on the clicker, to aim at things, just for fun, I was not shooting barebow and cheating.......!!
A scratch in the right place could be a very useful sight mark, so , not allowed.
As for the sight window, that is there to allow the arrow to rest on centre. It is called the sight window as the sight can be seen in that cut away part-if you have a sight; it is not a sighting device in itself.
I hope that helps.  |
