and instinctive shooting. If the bow sight is chosen it will haveto differ from the target sight with its movable carriage whichis adjusted for the various ranges. One cannot petition thelordly buck to stand still while one changes one's sight. Onemay hunt for a long time before that lordly buck presentssuch an opportunity—one must be in position and ready toloose the shaft without any delay.
It follows that the sight must be a stationary object placedon the bow where it can be plainly seen under almost anylight conditions. It must be so simple in design that anydanger of confusion is eliminated. The most simple and themost practical sight that I have ever seen is a strip of adhesivetape attached to the belly of the upper limb in such a positionand of such length that, when sighting even with the top ofthe tape, the point of impact is 30 yards; when sightingthrough the center of the strip, the impact is 40 yards; andwhen sighting even with the lower edge, the impact is 50yards. It will be necessary to do a good bit of shooting toarrive at the proper length the tape should be and just whereit should be attached. A bold mark across the middle of thetape with black ink will clarify the three sighting positions.It will be necessary to become so acquainted with this sightthat one will subconsciously use the proper sighting stationfor a given distance. At distances under 30 yards the in-stinctive method should be used.
