Their rigs were very odd looking with 2 or 3ft stabilizers sticking out the front and very light draws relative to my hunting rig. I went there once with my rig and I was quickly humbled. Of course my family thought I was Robin Hood, lol. Shooting a 3” group at 20yds for me would warrant a photo.
It’s always amazing when you start out (with anything) that there are levels upon levels of proficiency that are out there. And yet with enough reps you can get there and before you know it, even though you “know” your skill level, you’re that someone to someone else. That’s how it works. Keep it up!
Yeah, I'm shooting "trad" (traditional) which is no sight, no stabilizer, etc.... It's just a wooden take down bow, arrows, and an arrow rest (rather than shooting off of the shelf). My particular bow is very much a budget bow.



The other usual styles are barebow, which is similar to trad, no sight, but they often use metal risers with weights.


Then there's olympic which usually has a stabilizer or stabilizers and sights.


I'm not sure what style would use stabilizers but no sight. But I'm not that in touch with all of the possibilities.
