Gap shooting research

I wanted to take this opportunity to offer my thanks to the members of The Push listeners Facebook group and the subscribers to Offthearrowshelf Facebook page for their comments.

I’m doing some research on gap shooting for a future episode of the podcast and I posted this question about gap shooting. The responses have been great and really useful in building up an idea of the methods people use.

My question was on gap shooting and inviting thoughts please.

If you have a fixed anchor and gap shoot do you look at target and let’s say at 30 yards your gap in 4 inch above. Do you

1. Consciously put point of arrow 4 inch above where you want to hit?

Or

2. Actually focus your aim 4 inches above?

It’s a subtle difference and speaking to people I’ve found a mix.

I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts if you are a gap shooter on what method you use. Thanks for reading.

In this latest episode from the podcast I try to encourage people to have their voice heard and to contribute in respect to the upcoming NFAS AGM.

In just over a week there is the AGM for the National Field Archery Society here in the UK. It’s the opportunity for people to contribute to the society and even if you can’t physically get to the meeting you can join via zoom link if you contact the general secretary in advance (general.secretary@nfas.net).

Likewise after the AGM in the following months there will be the voting on the proposals discussed at the AGM. Don’t waste your chance to vote.
