Older Target Scores

[Donald Clark]

Is there any place one can find pre-fiberglass target scores that can be compared to modern scores- that is shooting the same distances, sizes, etc.?

This is interesting to me because the primary difference in shooting a fiberglass backed bow is that the shooter can hold for several seconds without affecting cast on subsequent shots.  This has resulted in a shooting style that simply couldn't exist in pre-fiberglass days.

It would be very interesting to see how much this has improved scores or even IF it has improved scores.

You should try to get a copy of :

ELMER, R.P. (1952): Target Archery. – 428 p., figs., 39 pl.; London, New York, Melbourne, Sydney, Cape Town (Hutchinson)

You will find MANY scores in there from 1828 on until about 1950.
