| rule number one - when shooting outside of a designated range:
Start reeeeeealy close...like 'a drawn bows length' from the boss unless you're sure you're sighted and hitting the middle of the boss...then increase distance in short increments!
Yeah - I've put one over the garden fence ( 18 m) while sight was set for 80 yards......bounced off the only car in the carpark's roof leaving a nice little dink...and was found approximately 150 yards away on a football pitch, 15 minutes before kickoff.
I mightn't have searched so damned hard nor so far for so long if I hadn't put my full name and club details on the damn arrow!
One tip for searching for lost arrows on private ground:
Take off your quiver, lose the tab, have a ready 'reason' to be there that wont ensure a judicial enquiry...or blame the eldest child in the house for 'making' bows and arrows in the garden..........if you can minimize the percieved threat of death for others enquiring of you...you may even get some help to find it!  |
