The Clout range, you can just about see the far flag.
A really enjoyable Sunday afternoon archery clout shoot at the Naseby Battlefield site.
Clout shooting is where the target is at the limit of your bow’s reach, and hence you are ‘arching’ and shooting at roughly 45 degrees in order to reach your target. The target is usually a flag, and scoring is obtained by an arrows distance from the flag,
