Murat shooting at 3D targets

Murat Says:

"I used various synthetic foams and simple tools to make these targets. All worked well with my 38#@28 Grozer Turkish base bow, except the rabbit target which had been made of a soft elastomer used in footwear industry. Closer shots (5 m) passed through it. Gluing two layers or switching to a tougher material would resolve this problem. Expanded polystirene sheets usually used in heat isolation and polyurethan foams work well for this purpose and survive many shots from moderate to heavy bows. Despite the fact that they are not as long-lasting as the commercial targets they guarantee weeks of shooting fun in an unbelievably low price."

There are some explanations on the info area...

...continues...

"Center cut" or "center shot" bows (that most 3-finger shooters use) are more accurate than the bows with conventional grip/riser designs, at least they're easier to tune. Thumbrelease overcomes this problem to some extent."

...contiues....

One must compensate the right-left deviation sometimes, but usually there is not too much problem in clearence.

One can shoot very accurately with a thumbring but it's a little more difficult to master compared to the 3-finger release. Consistency takes some time. The difference in accuracy mainly depends on the bow design, not the release.

Murat says:

"After tendon injuries in last April I have been shooting a 38#@28 Grozer Turkish base bow. The arrows are wooden (35-40# spined Port Orford cedar, cut to 29'', weigh ca. 388-400 grains) and Easton 1916 aluminum arrows (29'' with 100 grain points, can't remember the total weight),. Al-arrows may seem to be overspined but they're not. Thumbrelease enables the archer get on well with a wider spectrum of spine.

I´am interested in thumb ring shooting too. How accurate can one get with a ring?

[adyona]

Watch my other vids, I have one on accuracy. Accuracy also depends on how much you train...

[sonichedgie]

nice classic shooter.

[jumpingjack909]

left shooter?

[peadex]

good idea! i jst spray painted a deer on a styrofoam block it wrks good with my 58# fred bear

[abdulkabza]

The bow is a Turkish bow replica made by Grozer. It's not a Mongolian bow. There are noticabe morphologic differences between these two types of bow.

[OdoProductions]

haha u shoot a mongolian bow!

[TheKorban]

I love the hog, I feel inspired and the sun's shinning so I might have a go today.

Thanks.
