About to try out the Motive F5 fiber foam limbs

By

I am super excited! Yesterday I received my new limbs in the mail. I had been shooting cheap rented wood limbs for some time and felt that it was time to get stronger limbs.

I checked some posts and price lists and decided to go with the fiber foam limbs from WNS, the Motive F5. I didn't really know what weight to pick, but since I had been shooting 26# limbs tillered up to 30# I decided to take 36# limbs. The rationale behind that was that the foam limbs are said to be quite smooth, so going up 6# instead of 4# like I did before should be fine. I also felt that with my strength training my current limbs were too weak, which also in my mind justified the 6# increase.

I didn't have time to shoot the new limbs yesterday, but I did a quick draw test and my worries switched from too heavy to too light - it felt like the new limbs tillered all the way to the light side were basically the same as what I had before. So I took out my luggage scale (which doesn't seem to be to accurate) and it showed 40#!

So my first impression is that I probably had some stacking before and a very smooth draw now so that the difference doesn't feel as large as it is.

Now it's 6 a.m. and I am off to the club. My guess is that half way through my daily 60 arrows I will feel that the limbs are stronger, but I really wouldn't bet on anything. From it being hardly any difference to me going back to the previous limbs anything might happen.

I'll be updating this post when I get back.

Happy St. Crispin's Day!

Battle of Agincourt From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ​ Part of the Hundred Years' War Date 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day) Location Azincourt, County of Saint-Pol (now Pas-de-Calais) Result English victory ​ The Battle of Agincourt French: Azincourt was an English victory in the Hundred Years' War. It took place on 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day) near Azincourt, in northern France.[b] The unexpected English victory against the numerically superior French army boosted English morale and prestige, crippled France and started a new period of English dominance in the war. ​ After several decades of relative peace, the English had resumed the war in 1415 amid the failure of negotiations with the French. In the ensuing campaign, many soldiers died from disease, and the English numbers dwindled; they tried to withdraw to English-held Calais but found their path blocked by a considerably larger French army. Despite the numerical disadvantage, the ba...

New Archers: What information do you need to know, and how do you find it?

By
One thing that I love about this community compared to other online archery forums is that it's got a good mix of experience. It's also where a lot of new archers seem to come for advice when starting out. That's great! However, it can be frustrating to give good advice without the correct information. Every body is different, and so every archer's setup and starting point is going to be a little different too. Eye dominance: For any shooting sport, it's important to know which eye is dominant because that's the eye that you will naturally aim with. There are several different tests that you can do, but the one that I've found to be most simple is to hold your hands up with your fingers and thumbs extended and overlap them so that they make a triangle. Look at an object in the distance through that triangle. Then you can either close each eye (one at a time) or bring your hands back to your face while continuing to look at the object. The eye that keeps ...

A Historical Defense of Lars Anderson

By
If you've been on an archery forum in the last few years, you've seen the discussions about Lars Anderson and his speed shooting videos. The comments across the internet about his videos are almost universally negative. You wouldn't believe the hate this guy gets. In a way, it's understandable. In his videos, Lars essentially claims that modern archers have lost many of the techniques that made ancient archers so formidable, and that through his readings of ancient archery manuals, he was able to rediscover some of those techniques. He then demonstrates that by using those techniques, he has become the fastest speed shooter alive today. And oh my god, those claims set the archery world on fire. The amount of hate he got then, and continues to get, is insane.These are VERY bold claims, and it's only natural to be skeptical. However, I find most of his critics to be disingenuous. And through my own readings of the early archery writings, I find that Lars is a lot c...
