Sticky situation?

By

So I'm at my local Cabela's because it's on the way home from an appointment I had in the big city today, gift card burning a hole in my pocket from Xmas (misplaced and forgot about it) and I decide to pick up some supplies. I was looking for some fletching glue and hot melt. The only hot melt they carry is Easton, which says it's good for aluminum and aluminum/carbon composite arrows like the FMJ. Since I have no clue how FMJs are built, I ventured a guess that it'll work on carbons, too. No fletching glue, though. Guy at the counter said "Maybe December. Try the bow shop across town." No luck there, either.

I know some guys use CA for inserts, or JB Weld, but I want to be able to tune and adjust my inserts. So barring the Easton not working, I'll order some Bohning Cool Flex off Amazon. The small 12g stick costs half as much as the big daddy 1 pound brick. I'll get the brick and be set for life.

How about the fletching though? Regular CA like Krazy Glue or Gorilla suitable? I don't like the thought of dropping $30CAD for a half ounce bottle of Fletch-tite or Goat Tuff when I can get Gorilla Super or Krazy Glue for less than 10 bucks.

So... Gorilla Super? Krazy Glue? Loctite 401? Something that has a longer set time so I can get my EZ Fletch closed and clamped before the glue dries?

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?

Help with a makeshift target for the garden.

By
My sister is buying me a target for Christmas so it would be kind of rude to just go out and buy one and ruin the gift, so in the mean time im making a makeshift target with whatever I have about. So far I have a tall box about 4 or 5 feet tall and 3 ft wide, its about a half ft deep. I've filled it with other boxes and the centre of the target is a box filled with polystyrene blocks, if then added a layer of blankets to the front and back and plugged any space with some old clothes and jeans. Paper target stuck on the front! What im wondering before I shoot at it, is with what ive described is it going to be enough to stop a field tip punching right through if if shot from a 40lb recurve at about 10ms? It will be resting against the brick wall of the house so I really don't want them to punch straight through and hit brick. I do have an old wooden door I could potentially use as an extra backstop just incase? Its an old inside door so mostly hollow inside rather than a so...
