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?

Troubles with Thumb Draw...

By
Hello fellow archers! TLDR: I can't get my arrows to fly straight while using thumb draw. Please help! I started my archery journey for real last year with recurve. I loved it and I have become so much better than when I started. I've been using split finger, Mediterranean draw. My form is good and my arrows always fly straight and stick straight into the target. All I can see of the arrows is nocks and feathers when they're in the target. That's where I want to be. That makes me happy. Thumb draw, however... I have been practicing with it for a few months now. I've been using both Alibow's Mongolian fiberglass bow and their laminated Turkish bows. Both bows are 30# at 28" I have both a leather and plastic thumb rings that fit well. I've been shooting tight groups with thumb draw but my problem that I can't seem to fix on my own and can't learn from videos is that my arrows are always sticking in at an angle. I've tried Khatra, changin...

Shooting 40lb recurve with fingers

By
I’ve been competing with a 20lb genesis bow for 3 years and just graduated. I am used to using a three finger release and have always done so without a glove. However, i have recently purchased a 40lb recurve which i intend to hunt with but i have found that it hurts my fingers after only maybe 20 arrows. I have a glove but I can’t shoot well with it because it messes up my release (why i never used it with genesis). I had a similar problem to a lesser extent when I started with my genesis but after a while it stopped bothering me. Will it cause any damage to my fingers to continue shooting without a glove? And if so, can you recommend any other options for protecting my fingers or should I just try to make my glove work? submitted by /u/Shmoop-Dog [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3kQK7dh via

Question to arrows

By
Hello! I just started with archery, I joined a club and bought a recurve set "for beginners" (it was on sale and had everything i as a newbie needed) Sadly the arrows I got don't work for me And I don't know anything about arrows. I tried to find out what arrows I needed, but I don't know what spine i need, or how long they are supposed to be also I don't know what tips are allowed for competition (it seems mine are for hunting/3d target shooting) How do I calculate my spine or length? I have a 68" recurve with 24 lbs limbs I think my draw length might be around 25 to 27. What is the difference between "1170" and "16/16" ? I mean, what does the "/" in particular mean? This is actually very confusing I hope someone can help Thank you 🏹🍀 submitted by /u/ViviAliasTobi [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3FCc4Qa via
