Thank youShirleyCPhillips wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 5:21 am Its really a great way to practice...Good work you done here.
Thank you
Late question but I really like those arrowheads you have. They seems to have a better aesthetic than the usual target points since they look more along the lines of bodkin. Well, I assume you use them for target practice. If so, do you have a link where I might pick up a couple?
yeah, there are two companies that make them, here are the links for the supplier I use:Cimrandir wrote: ↑Tue May 03, 2022 11:48 pm Late question but I really like those arrowheads you have.

That's how I have been doing it for a while. I've always been an instinctive archer. But I think this way is more functional and you don't shoot your arrows anymore either.Iodo wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 8:46 pm Some of you might know I do target archery at my local club, I shoot recurve barebow and very rarely get chance to practice anything different to the standard targets and distance's (e.g. 20, 30, 40 yds)
A few days ago I was at the indoor range late in the evening, there was no one else there so I decided to try something a bit different. My usual method is to use sighting arrows and a reference point which relies on shooting from the same place every time, which would have limited use for a dwarven fells-ward. What I tried instead was putting up different targets and shooting from different places/distances around the room and I was quite pleased with what I could achieve. I wouldn't go anywhere near as far as calling it instinctive but every arrow I shot was from a different place/distance (up to 30 yds) at a different target and all my arrows were, at least, on or very close to the target I aimed at. It wasn't close to the accuracy I can achieve using my normal technique but it was still far better than I thought it would be, and that surprised me
Can I get a link to your YouTube channel?Iodo wrote: ↑Wed May 04, 2022 6:39 amyeah, there are two companies that make them, here are the links for the supplier I use:Cimrandir wrote: ↑Tue May 03, 2022 11:48 pm Late question but I really like those arrowheads you have.

TAS history point: https://www.merlinarchery.co.uk/tas-history-point.html
Bearpaw History Point:
11/32'' - https://www.merlinarchery.co.uk/bearpaw ... -1132.html
5/16'' - https://www.merlinarchery.co.uk/bearpaw ... t-516.html
I can't remember which one I got, I'd have to check the invoice, but as far as I know they are almost the same. A YouTube subscriber asked a while back and I tried to find a supplier that sold them in the US and wasn't very successful, I don't know if Merlin will ship overseas? if not PM me and I can get hold of some and post them
[EDIT] I just looked up my original order, it seems I got the TAS ones even tho I linked the Bearpaw ones in my video
