Standarts of accuracy
sagitarius boemoru:
Well well....Since I was not able to walk around christmas I might need some excersise, but other than observing arrows flight, what good it would be if I train for the attempt?
I mean, off course that practice is good and everyone improves with it, but if I want unbiased result........
The benchmark is definitelly a good thing.

Yeomanbowman and myself have made a man sized knight to test our accuracy and others at Batsford this weekend. Thought it was a bit more fun than a regular target ;D
It should give us an insight in to "standards of accuracy".
Cheers, Outcaste
Rod:
How far away was that and what was the recorded % of hits?
Rod.
Loki:

--- End quote ---
When Hill still toured the target tournaments before concentrating on his hunting endeavours, he won a consecutive 196 target shoots, in a time when every archer shot what we now call primitive bows. There allegedly were target archers who refused to participate in events where Hill was present, due to his phenomenal success.
Hill's personal best in the American Round stands at 684 points. Quite a feat with a bare wood bow and wood arrows, as anyone who's shot the American Round with similar gear can attest. A fairly poor target archer? No way.
