| If you are not sure of the distance on the 3D targets play safe. With most 3D targets having a centre section with only a 1-2 meter drop, you have to be pretty accurate on your judging to get the arrow into the Kill/wound zone. Not so difficult for the compound guys because the arrow speed helps with "drop off" trajectory. Much harder to hit for those with slower bows (including recurve) because of the parabolic flight of the arrow. Many of the standing 3D have the head, shoulder and legs (the legs support the animal in most cases) all vertically above one another so it gives you a better cahnce to hit within this area even if your are quite a few meters out on your distance judging. Better to hit the toe and get a 16 pointer than to skim it's back, missing the killing zone by inches and get nowt. Again, if not sure aim for the biggest spread of the animal. |
