We had a great weekend of classes at the Marietta range last week. Working with pressure on draw fingers and climbing the target's blue tape lines was a great "reveal" for consistency, evidenced by the results on the target.
Chunk Training: practice the “set to set-up”
We will continue to focus on the details that create the variances at farther targets as we prep for outdoor distances. The inconsistencies really show up at the further distances.( A slightly open set of teeth can mean a whole rings worth of difference at 70 meters! Movement in the finger pressure-higher arrows (or lower). Getting the set, to set up, to draw/load with solid back "holding" =endurance and straighter arrow launch. We will practice the “set to set-up”, observing the amount of space in the "open" position at set up, keeping the draw elbow inside the arrow line, and focus on that elbows movement at release.
Last part of class: Equipment review for outdoor Versus Indoor
Most of the future tournaments will shift to outdoors. What does that mean for equipment? Could mean quite a lot, particularly if you are going for a 70 meter distance. Arrows and draw weight of the limbs on a recurve typically change if competing outdoors. There is no real need for heavy draw weight on limbs indoors as the distance is only 18 meters to 20 yards and there are no weather elements to battle. Indoors, a “fat” arrow is preferred ,often called line-cutters, meaning they are fatter so they can break the line of the next higher scoring ring, versus a skinny arrow that, if landing in the same hole, could be one point less. Indoor arrows with three or four 4” feathers add stability and correction-no wind or rain to beat the arrows around indoors. Outdoors the skinny carbons and spin wing vanes can provide less wind interference and better long distance flight, and when coupled with heavier limbs, can make a big difference in getting to the further distances. Some champion Archers keep their set up the same indoors or out - good results are good results!
When changing weight of limbs or changing arrows for outdoors, several factors can be considered in the set-up including arrow rest, plunger, spine of the arrow, arrow nock type, vanes, string strands, etc. We will review several options toward the end of each days class, so class may run over.
