Synopsis
Excerpt from How to Train in Archery: Being a Complete Study of the York Round, Comprising an Exhaustive Manual of Long-Range Bow Shooting for the Use of Those Archers Who Wish to Become Contestants at the Grand National Association Meetings
The difference between the proper method of shooting at short, that is, point blanc range, and that of shooting at the great distances used in the York Round, is radical. One may be a crack shot at forty yards and under, and yet find himself unable to hit the target once out of twenty shots at one hundred or even eighty yards. To the close observer the reason of this is plain.
First, in practicing at the short range the archer naturally draws higher, with his right hand near his ear, whilst at the long range he lowers that hand to the level of his chin, or rather below, and elevates his left so as to give the arrow the proper pitch for the high flight necessary to make it reach the target.
