Another thing you can try is having a different colour of string contrasting with the riser so you can see it's "shadow" better, in this case a white string against a black riser would be much better to see.

Very nice shooting. Love the name of the target!

I never did long range shooting but that’s the plan this year :)

That was a super simple and excellent video on sight picture. Thank you sub 826 now 👍

Toglimi una curiosità ma se il mirino sta più in alto della freccia come faccio a centrare il bersaglio? Mi spiego se punto il bersaglio con il pin del mirino e la freccia è più in basso come faccio a colpire dove miro?

The sight shadow is indeed important, but placing it on a part of the bow that changes (i.e. the sight) is not advisable. When you adjust the sight (left/right), you also change the reference point for the string shadow.

The purpose of the string shadow is to keep the angle of the bow the same in space. This should be independent of how or where the sight points. Therefore, you should place the string shadow on a part of the Riser. E.g. in the middle of the top and bottom tiller bolt or as an alternative on the inside of the bow window.

So you can be sure, that your bow is always aligned with the same angle in space and so you will prevent arrows landing left or right of there you aim.
