Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Wanting to try Traditional

Coming from a compound background where you are used to sights, shooting 3 under and gapping will be much more natural and provide more consistent results. Once you get the concept down it can be very accurate. I would say that the majority of the better shooters at indoor or outdoor/3d shoots are aiming off the arrow in one way or another. Here's an example of what an average Joe can do when shooting with good form and a solid aiming system. That is a 60 round target with "No 3's" shot at 20 yards. I couldn't do it every time but scores in the 270's on the standard NFAA 300 were common. You will hear all kinds of reasons why people don't shoot paper but it really is a great way to track your progress and be able to figure out where your ability level is at. The old NFAA games are a lot of fun with a Trad bow.
