    Does anybody have a design for a periscope sight for clout shooting?

    I have been using pins and a ground sight and it is not as accurate as I would like.

    Help is urgently needed!!!!!

    Thanks

    There is a new company developing this.
    Go to theperisight.com and contact them to see when it will be available.

    Greetings and Salutations from the Dweller In the Citystate of the
    Vincible Overlord.
    Firstly, this is not a joke...clout shooting is a form of archery wherein the target ring is laid on the ground, at about 100 yards or
    more, and, the arrows shot up into the air at a steep angle. The idea
    is to drop the shaft in the circle as close to the center as possible.
    This used to be a very valuable skill when presented with an oncoming
    shield wall with many warriors behind it. Now, it is naught but
    sport, and, mainly practiced in the Society for Creative Anachronism.
    Secondly, for Hamer...sorry, as far as I know, there IS no such
    thing as a periscope sight for the sport. I think that it would not
    be terribly useful anyway, because the great flight time of the shaft
    would allow too many variables to influence its flight.
    There is still no "royal road" to clout shooting. All you can do
    is go out, shoot (a lot) and develop the internal database that will
    allow you to accurately drop the shaft near where you want it.
