Shooting against stong wind - with strong wind from behind??

[Harald]

Think I got an idea what I should do (does not mean I manage) when wind is from the side. How would wind either from behind or from the front affect your shooting.??? Not very much since arrow surface is very small seen from these angles??? or should you take it into consideration??? Haven't seen a nice debate on this one before.... :bday:

While a head wind might not take your arrows a long way to the side, one aspect that is challenging is to know which way they will go. That can vary from shot to shot and makes it a bit difficult to know how to aim off.

And from a recurve, even a well tuned recurve gives the back of the arrow a little side to side flick before it straightens. In a good tailwind, that's enough increase in side area to really screw about with the groups.

IMHO, anyway...

Thanks,
Would you have to aim a bit higher in order to compensate strong headwind??? What about tailwind???
Asuming low arrow speed... :roll:

aim a tthe number at the bottom of the target, maybe a little lower, and you should be fine!!! let me know how it goes.

Try shooting a crossbow, huge sight pull a trigger how could you miss :roll: then again you have to be able to displace your hip to rest the thing on in the right position.
However if you are an archer I'd say try what Daved has suggested :wink:
