Guidance Needed: Compound Bow Backstop Netting

By

I am taking delivery soon of a netting system designed for stopping athletics- lacrosse or soccer balls, hockey pucks, that sort of netting. The system utilizes 4 20’ tall poles (modular, can be shortened to 12’ tall) with pulleys on the top in order to raise the netting (the specific system is made by NetWorldSports) . It occurred to me that this means it could be possible to use the same poles to raise a different net for archery.

I have a mission riot. It has been a while since I used it, I will have to increase both the draw length and weight, but I suspect I will be using it at around 50lbs, give or take. My dad has a Hoyt Charger that is set at 55lbs as well, if I am not mistaken. I would like to be able to use them in our yard this summer.

I will only use them if I can find an effective backstop netting solution within my budget. As I suspect is the case for all of you reading this, safety is a top priority, and if there remains a risk of the arrows passing through, that eliminates the option. Net world sports makes backstop netting, but it appears based on reviews that it is meant for camp style bows with draw weights in the 20lbs range, which leads me to believe that despite using field tips I will still tear that netting apart. Is there any netting meant for stopping arrows at 40-70lbs draw weight? Any tips/experience/guidance/advise is welcome. Also saw the option from Lancaster. Is that effective when doubled up like they suggest?

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

By
So my budget has increased and i decided i'm going for a top-level sight for the target style recurve i'm building. It seems that Shibuya and Axcel are the top end, so for anyone who has experience with either one of them, or preferably both, could you tell me the differences, pros and cons, and which one is the best value? i'm planning on buying the most expensive, so the Axcel Achieve XP - Recurve or the Shibuya Ultima RC PRO Carbon Sight . If there's any other top end sights you think are better, let me know. I want this to be the first and last sight that i ever buy, and price doesn't really matter. Another question, on the Shibuya there's an option for "Single mount" and "Double mount." What do those mean? And lastly, is the sight aperture on either of the sights suitable, or is there better after-market apertures that are better? I'm sort of thinking that is something I should be buying from my local shop so i can actually te...

Is there any reason mediterranean and slavic draw shoot from opposite sides of the bow

By
When the release imparts the same twist on the string? It was my understanding that mediterranean draw has the arrow on the side opposite of the bow of the draw hand because of the twist imparted on the string affecting the arrow on release but that should mean that slavic draw would suffer from that problem. Am I missing something with this? Shouldn't that mean you could use a mediterranean draw on the same side of the bow as the draw hand and not have issues?

Are my new arrows overspined?

By
Are 400 spine, 27" arrows overspined for 30 pound draw weight? The guy just picked the arrows, cut them and gave them to me. my old arrows were 500 spine, 32" so when I said that they looked overspined, he just shrugged and said "the chart says they're ok". Can anyone confirm my doubts? submitted by /u/Astaziel [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3pmjVLf via
