Targets
DC:
Do you flight archers ever shoot flight arrows at targets as part of the testing?
avcase:
Are you talking about one of those targets hung high above the floor so that you are shooting up at a proper angle?
DC:
I'd never heard of that, so no :) I was thinking more just 15-20 yards away to see if the spine was close. Also I wanted to see if anyone said no because they kept breaking arrows.
Del the cat:
I've had some trouble breaking arrows, but I've got a good arrow catcher behind the chrono now.
I have a wire rope with an arrow stop net and I have an old duvet rolled and jammed into a plastic bac with a couple of clips on the top edge that I clip onto the wire, that catches 'em nicely.
i think they should be flying straight ASAP, so it's only the very short range that should snap 'em.
I made the mistake of trying one bare shaft... big mistake, with the balance only just front of centre it nose dived and smashed on the floor. >:(

I would dearly like to be out in a field testing arrows but first I have to find one and the middle of a pandemic is not the time to go knocking on farmers doors.
