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.

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...

Will a whisker Biscuit work on a Martin Jaguar takedown?

By
I have a old Martin Jaguar take down that i bought years ago on a sale I and rarely shot it. Mostly because it felt very heavy to me with a 45lb draw weight as a young teen, when I also had an easy to pull back compound. Any ways the bow has been sitting collecting dust and I would like to use it again. The model came with a crappy plastic arrow rest and I was wondering if I could added a whiskey biscuit to it without any issues? submitted by /u/sigrug [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3dWFgF8 via

Which Sites are Recommended for "Advanced Newbies"?

By
Hello there fellow archers, I'm newish to archery as a hobby and could use a little advice. When I first decided I wanted to give it a shot (sorry, I had to make that pun), I bought a highly reviewed, newbie-friendly, bow on Amazon. But... Just today, the 50" takedown bow I ordered completely broke, I cracked the handle, tore the bowling, have hairline fractures in both limbs, and probably a few more things. So anyway, I have a couple questions about what sites are recommended for "Advanced Novices" like myself. I'm pretty good, not great, but I do get a lot of enjoyment out of it as a hobby. So here's my questions: Which sites do you recommend for buying a much more reliable bow than the one I found on Amazon. The one from Amazon was rated as 55-60lbs, and since I broke it, it leads me to believe that I'd need a bow that's draw-weight is rated as something like 60-65lbs or 65-70lbs. My wife and I are on a pretty tight budget, so we can't a...
