I’ve been a bit slow in posting this shoot report and photos, which is a shame as it was a really good day and enjoyable shoot.

Response to follower on boss repairs
I’ve had a question about target boss repair and the type of banding fastener I use as it allows the banding to be adjusted, i.e., tightened if the boss is not compressed enough.
The original post goes into some details and another on boss repairs.
They are a type of buckle that holds the banding tight, and if like I do, you leave a long tail on the banding and don’t cut it short. You will have enough to feed back into your banding machine and can then tighten the boss if needed.
Thanks for reading and if you have any questions drop me a line.

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.
