2020 US Flight Shoot
sleek:
When do we need to register by?
avcase:
I am just happy we can keep US Flight archery event alive this year. I appreciate the good wishes!
If at all possible, registration should be complete by this Friday, 8/21. I will check with USA Archery to see if I can extend this somehow if necessary. In the past, we always took registration on-site but times have changed.
Thank you!

It’s 51” long and has 9” reflex. The mistake was when the tillering was done it draws 34# @ 24.4”. I don’t think the men have that weight class. If a talented female archer is willing to shoot I think it could bring a record. I went to a field for the first time since last sept and with one shot sent a 201 grain arrow 268 yards. No big feat but may take the 35# primitive record.

We do have some women, and junior men and junior women archers who are strong archers but short on equipment to shoot. I’m sure one of them would be thrilled to have a chance to shoot a bow like this for a round, if it works out.

One requirement for primitive flight bows that sometimes catches folks by surprise is that the string material also needs to be a natural material. For example, Linen, silk, hemp, ramie, etc. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if any of you need help with natural material strings. I have a pretty large stockpile of excellent quality linen and filament string that I am happy to share. I have thoroughly tested all of it and it is every bit as good as any of the past flight archers used.
I will be setting up the shooting lines on Wednesday, September 2nd, if you need to catch me in person. Otherwise call or contact me anytime.
