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...

Recurve string hitting wrist area...

By
Hi, ​ I just upgraded my 26lb to a 40lb bow, I'm loving it's power but I am having a consistent issue with hitting my wrist with the string every time I full draw, never with half draw, please see: https://imgur.com/sltnRTI ​ I have tried different hand positions, like rotating my wrist away from the strings path but it just feels so unsteady when drawing. I don't feel like I'm holding it majorly wrong, I never encountered this issue with my 26lb so I'm a little confused about what the cause may be. ​ Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am still pretty nooby with archery so perhaps I am just dumb. ​ I believe my brace height is 7.5 inches if that helps, it is a 70" bow, my hand is comfortable on the grip when drawing, it isnt majorly up or down, and looks straight to me, and like i say, rotating it away just leaves me with little control over the bow. ​ Edit: My string is a 70" string, the riser for my new bow is 1" longer than my 26lb...

Question on bow fit - Mathews V3 31"

By
Long story short: I decided after 2 years to upgrade my used Dreniln. Went in to a local shop and they steered me towards a V3. In hindsight they didn't spend near as much time with me as they should have. Anyway, my wingspan is just under 76" and the bow is set at it's max draw length of 30.5". In order to get a good sight picture and have my nose touch the string, I need to tilt my head down just slightly, which then causes my jaw to change position and a loose a bit of my anchor point. Is this common for a shorter bow, or should I really have gone with a bow that goes to 31" and/or a longer axle to axle to get a better angle? V3s are hard to come by around here so I may be able to recoup most of the cost of the bow if I decide to switch. Not sure what to do. I went back to the bow shop and the guy said "That's the cool thing about archery, some people move there head, lean back, lean forward, it's all a matter of how you want to shoot"...I...
