Magnification Sights

Posted on December 15, 2013 by Drotticus

What do you think of magnification sights on a bow? Personally, I feel that it ruins the art in archery. If you need a magnification sight, go buy a crossbow and stick a magnification sight on that. Then again, I am biased on this topic. What are your thoughts on a magnification sight?

Saracen Shooting

Posted on December 12, 2013 by Drotticus

For many generations of archers, Legolas and Robin Hood were the mythical characters to imitate. But, apparently their ability to shoot multiple arrows in a short moment is far from mythical. I do not yet fully understand the technique, but the Saracens developed a technique that allowed an archer to loose multiple arrows with great velocity in a single second!

However, I am interested if anyone else learned differently.
