a point of aim on or slightly under the target at 100 yards-After a point of aim has been established by trial and errorat a given distance, it can be recorded in the manner givenbelow so that it can be transposed to another target withaccuracy. Hold an arrow or a stick in the left hand in a per-pendicular position at arm's length and sight over the upperpoint of it so that this point will be on the gold. Withoutmoving the head, drop the eyes so that you are looking at thepoint of aim; then move the thumb up the arrow to this posi-tion and verify it by seeing that the point of the arrow is onthe target and that the thumb is on the point of aim. Markthat arrow with a pen or pencil at this point. If you wantto shoot at that distance at another time or on another targetat the same distance, all you have to do is to hold up the samearrow in the same manner and note some flower or blade ofgrass that will be in line with the mark on the arrow; then,without taking your eye off the spot located, walk up to itand push down your point of aim. Some people memorizethe number of paces from the shooting line to the points ofaim locations; this works out fairly well if the field is levelbut, if there are dips or humps on the range, they will be infor some errors. |
