Apart from being unusual when you first try, is there something else going on?
I am thinking that perhaps the archer aims with the bow arm only and keeps the rest of the posture the same through all three shots. |
I'm with you on that one Geoff. I have observed other peoples groups on 5 spot PAA faces, where there is a wide separation between the targets on the left and right side. Usually the right side two spots have a left group. That tends to suggest to me, they are lined up with the left side spots, and pushing the bow across to the right. I saw it in myself many years ago, with the 3 spot faces placed horizontally.
So when faced with a wide horizontal difference, I actually move my position slightly, to "address" each spot. Seems to work for me.
I recall a conversation with Chris Jones many years ago on the subject of allowances for uphill and downhill shots. There were many offerings of how much to add/subtract to the sight marks. Chris said he did not make any allowances. Because he felt that if you kept a perfect T shape, bending at the waist, you should get the same marks. He felt that the difference was cause by not using the T, and this altered the anchor point on the face.
