Does anyone understand this? I cant figure it out

By

Ṭāhir al-Balkhi maintained that the way to correct any excess or loss in the range of the arrow

was by bringing the lower siyah in toward his side in the case of excess, and by raising the bow

with his wrist in the case of loss; or, by raising the bow with his wrist and projecting the lower

siyah away from his side if the loss persisted, without resorting to the device of raising the left

hand in the case of loss in the range of the arrow or dropping it in the case of excess therein.

Instead, he would hold the last knuckle of the thumb of his left hand on a level with his left

shoulder when he stretched out his left arm for aiming, and would correct any error therein by

bringing the lower siyah in toward his side to an extent which would rectify the error and bring

the arrow closer to the target in the case of excess, and by pushing out the bow with his wrist in

the case of loss. If the arrow still fell short of the target, he would push the bow out with his wrist

and project the lower siyah away from his side to an extent which would rectify the error and

bring the arrow closer to the target.

I would take a takedown recurve bow as my primary SHTF/bugout weapon

This is the type of opinion that is subject to change. In the near future, deteriorating political, economic, and social circumstances may result in many people having to rely on weapons to obtain food and defend themselves on a regular basis. Alternately, some people desire to leave civilization for a life of self-sufficiency in the wilderness, perhaps temporarily, and will encounter the same challenges. Generally, firearms are the preferred weapons among people who seek to prepare themselves for these events. I have owned and used a wide variety of firearms over many years and own several right now. If I had to pick one weapon to serve as a primary weapon (a full-size weapon intended to be used offensively, such as for hunting, and carried in the hand or by sling as opposed to a secondary weapon, which is complimentary, used defensively and carried on-person and possibly concealed, such as a handgun) I just might prefer my ILF recurve over any kind of rifle or shotgun. It's ad

Having Trouble Figuring out a Backstop Situation

By
When I was around thirteen, I got my first recurve bow, and every weekend I practiced really diligently. I feel like I got pretty good for a casual archer. But having to wait for the weekend and going to the same indoor range just to shoot my bow for an hour or two got boring. So as life got busier, I stopped shooting as much. Alas, this is my sad tale. Now I'm 22, I live in a new area, and got a new awesome 50# recurve bow! The only problem is, I don't have the time or the money to go to an indoor range, and I'd just run into the same problem. I feel like my backyard is big enough, I called the city and they said so long as I'm not shooting at other people's houses or if I have a large enough structure in the path of my shot, I was clear to shoot in my yard. At the moment I'm looking at shooting at the side of my garage where it's probably around 10ft wide and about as tall. I don't think I have quite 30ft of distance, maybe not even 25ft, but don'
