the target is feet 33. and a half inch the thing I'm aiming at is size of your thumb, and I'm hitting around it as in just clipping the target

Remember that barebow should also not have any stabilisers, clickers, or kissers! But it is very satisfying.

all i have on it is my strap that goes on my wrist and a button on it

my advice is ............ don't move any farther back. barebow so satisfing but so frustrating. One day you are shooting their eyes out, the next day ya can't hit a bull in the butt. One day your gaps are on the money, next day your gaps are gaping.

your triple the number of practice arrows for a half the accuracy. Ya just gotta love it

i am very very lucky as a man at our club is the welsh champion at bar bow cant spell his name, so i will be chanting to him soon i have been watching him shoot from day 1 of my cores to now. i take it you are allowed a Putin and a wrist strap in competitions as now point having my strap on if i cant use it later in comps, it seems to me that i need to aim with my eye at a point above the target or below depending on the range. as i put the arrow as in line with my eye as i can

Teddybear - yes you have the idea. A good way to handle the gapping (if you do gap as an aiming menthod) is to find point on with your bow. If you are shooting three under if could be about 50 M, if split finger maybe 60 M. Now on a tall target butt go to 1/2 the distance of your point on and shoot that distance point on. Lets say that your point on was 50 M and when you shoot 25 M point on your impact point was 0.7 M high. That is the gap you will be dealing with. You can plot (graph) your gap at various distances.

Nothing to it???? right??
