Ashe, I've read several manuals about field archery. At most of them the author wrote the opposite: strong light from the right means hitting more at the left, and vice versa. At our archery training centre we outside shoot from south to north. In the evening the sun ist left and the arrows hit about 10 cm right. - What do you think about this experience?
Hey Heiko! Good question. Honestly, I'm not sure about that. Do they mention why they believe that in the books? Are there any other changes like a wind change that's consistently that direction in the evening?
@@OnlineArcheryAcademy, I did not find a proper explanation. It is discribed as a trick of light. At our shooting area it isn't very windy because of an earth wall and a bunch of bushes and trees. Last sunday I shot indoor at 30 metres with sunlight coming from the right, and my arrows hit left. Otherwise I recognise situations at outdoor, where the sun came from left or right from the front at about 45 degrees and there the arrows hit like you told in your theory. At all, I don't have a consistent theory about that, it's only experience.
Would you suggest a darker string for outside in bright or altering light to get a more consistent string picture? Also would you aim off or change windage? Thanks! Great vids as always!
Thanks! Great questions! If you have the options then it would be best to have a bright riser and dark string for outside sunny conditions, and a dark riser and bright string for indoors :) I end up going for the bright riser and dark string and just using it for both :)
Good question, but they wouldn't help either as the main issue is the light on the string making it appear brighter on one side. If you can block the light coming into the string that would solve it. For example if you were shooting outside on a sunny day, but shooting under shade then this variance wouldn't happen.
Quite late to the party but what about other means of mitigating this effect? I for example use fluoro-yellow string color which I found is less prone to glare in sunny condition. Other than that I wonder how amount of light (different iris size therefore more/less blurry string picture) has an effect on grouping.
Ahaha I was wondering how this would affect me. Since my hand is 2" behind my head, I can't see my string anyway (self styled asiatic style on modern recurve)
@Online Archery Academy I‘m not sure if the picture represents how light and shadow works. 🤔 I gave an thumps up because lovers gonna love. Take that RUclips algorithms...

I would simply change windage too!
Thank you Ashe ;)
Thanks! You're welcome!
Sorry, I asked so many questions, do you recommend removing the weights on the v bar stabilizer to reduce weight
It depends on your strength but if you're just starting I would begin with just one or two on each side rod and the longrod :)
What's your recommendation to do when playing out door and In door, do we need to change the sight alignment or do we need to change the scope type
Neither :) You just need to be aware and treat it the same as wind. Be aware of it and adjust accordingly if you need to :)
Hey Ashe just wondering you said hats dont help was just wondering if archery glasses like x sight would help with this

Can I ask about your stabilizer name?
Those are W&W HMC+ stabilisers :)

Ah yeah! Looks like you're in luck! :)
What the hell? Why are people already giving thumbs down when the video isn‘t up yet?!
Haha! I hadn't noticed that! Haters gonna hate I guess!
