Aiming with the recurve.....

[The_Split_Licker]

So uh, yea..... how does one go about this?

It's not easy no matter what you do. I can tell you that the aim point is the exact center of the screen. Getting the elevation right is the nightmare. Hours and hours of practice and I still suck with it. Guess I;ll stick to the compound.

I kinda figured that. But get this, I shot three animals last night just guessing where to aim. All three were vital hits. Buuuut I waited till they were 10-15 yards away. Lol. Maybe that's the key.

As an option, you can draw a 5-pin sign on your screen with a washable marker.

At ten yards it would be hard to miss. It's also much more likely the animal will drop quickly when hit.

I actually did that with the recurve in Deer Hunter 2005. Worked pretty good from what I recall. Lol

Here is a video from Flinter shooting bisons that might help:

The whole point of using a recurve is the lack of a sight...if you're gonna do that then just stick to one of the compounds...

Search Recurve Bow in the artwork section.

You look at the arrow and draw in your mind how it will fly once you release it. With a bit of practice you'll just know where to aim without much thinking. My main dislike is the long zero of the bow, as I mostly shoot from 20-30 m with it and have to aim low to hit my target.

I have an overlay for my graphics software that I can toggle on and off. I added a mark dead center of the screen with it.

This isn't real archery, and I'm not interested in it if it's not accurate. I don't have all day to line up shots. Compound is nice, but it's also heavier.

Yeah I think its basically asking you to hunt hiding in bushes and using calls to shoot from the closest range you can get.
