Barebow Recurve Archery

Shooting a recurve bow with no sights, stabilizers, or clicker — aiming by instinct and 'string walking' (sliding the draw fingers down the string to change the arrow's launch angle for a given distance). The barebow discipline blends raw motor consistency with a surprising amount of tuning math: matching arrow spine stiffness to draw weight, setting brace height, and paper-tuning to read the bow's dynamic behaviour.

The Second Arrow Went Where I Didn't Point

The arrow points a few degrees left of the target, then flies dead straight — and somehow, on the second try, my hands agreed to cooperate for once.
