2015 U.S. Flight Nationals, September 4-6

[Selfbowman]

Who won what and how far did they go?

   I didn't have any personal bests myself or new records. I was very pleased with a shot Jordan Case made using one of my bows and one of her daddy's arrows. She got 328 yards shooting a 35# osage self bow. This gave her a further distance than any female records in any female primitive classes. Joseph from Hungary did very well as usual with his heavy bows in several classes.

   I did have a personal best in practice that really made me rethink my strategy. I shot about 380 yards with a bow that wasn't even designed for flight and not particularly fast, just a nece self bow, very clean arrow flight was the key here. Next year I will be focusing on the arrow passes, brace heights, nocking points and arrows, anything I can do to improve how clean they come out of the bow.

Good info', you've got me thinking flight again .
The field where I shoot is prob' just about usable for one more go. I've nearly finished a 40# @28" Yew Molle', it would be interesting to see how far it will send some of my arrows.... Mind it's made as a left hander and if I shoot it right handed there's a ton of paradox.
