Comments on: How to Play Archery Golf

on 7/15/2007 High perf bows - when shooting a high performance compound you will be able to shoot a standard carbon or Al arrow close to 400 yards (I shoot 70 lbs w/ 29" draw with a 3" vane and 100 gr field tip), so depending on the course you generally only need a standard arrow and a flu flu(arrow with 3-6 large fletchings 4" long and 1 1/2 wide to slow things down) also a digger point to help prevent skipping(this is a basically a blunt drilled out with a 2"-4" piece of piano wire soldered in) these will dig in to the ground and prevent your next shot from being even longer. keep a junk arrow in your quiver for the close shots(also with a digger). For longer shallow angle shots use the lob technique to get close, it adds a stroke but worth it if you get a bad skip. In addition to Paul's comment above you can put multiple peep sites above your normal position to really dial in on the long shots.

on 7/15/2007 I can't imagine any golf course would allow archery golf also don't play this in a park! My 11 year old shoots an arrow close to 200 yards. Courses are set up for safety. If you live in Wisconsin check out the North Fond du Lac archery golf course (course is located in town of Mt. Morris). Have fun and be safe.

on 11/22/2005 Make regular divisions down the lower limb of your bow with thin stips of tape. See kmy next tip I am out of space. Keep notes on all your elevations with all your arrows. This will ensure your tee shot goes the planned distance.
