Kel's Warbow life.
Archeress:
Heres another way to get into my head.. My family history is english and welsh..i have had a fascination for medieval history since i was a kid. I am going to england in 2015 to take part in the 600th anniversary of agincourt as an archer. i live it an breathe it here. as far as warbowing is concerned i am over the moon just holding my bow. Arming it and drawing it back and loosing..i am still fascinated by this process..i feel the history in what i am doing. almost to the point of accuracy not even being in the equation.
For target though..my 70 pound elm has won me a couple of medieval comps here. hitting a half man size knight at 50 metres for example with one shot. for 3D shooting or ABA (australian bowhunting association) meets i am half as good as these crusty old men with there laminated recurves and shelf shooting...but i dont mind..i love the fun of it all. Its warbow i take seriously
Atlatlista:
50 yards on a human torso is pretty good shooting. What do you think your effective range would be on man-sized silhouettes? (Use the military definition of effective range, which is the range at which you hit more than 50% of the time).
Archeress:
Well i am about to find out on november 1oth when i can shoot clout to my hearts content. I do recall a few months ago shooting my 110 pounder at a target pig at 30 metres..prob 5 out of 10. this was at full draw behind the ear..looking at the target the whole time.
Atlatlista:
That's super-interesting. Keep us posted on your clout round.
Archeress:
I will make sure to video a few things also.
