Require assistance determining what my arrow spine should be. Beginner archer here.

By

So I just got a recurve bow on Thursday. Unfortunately after my lesson the shop staff present wasn’t very helpful answering my questions. My knowledge so far is my draw length is 29 in, draw weight the shop set my bow at is 26 lb, and my 5 arrows I was given measure 31.5 in. I’m interested in more traditional archery such as wooden shafts I asked what spine arrows I should be shooting and the shop attendant laughed at that question and told me that I didn’t need to know that information right now. Can anyone here help me on suggestions to what arrow spine I should be shooting?

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...

(New?) Dual Takedown Recurve Case Option

By
Before I get to the case. HUGE shoutout to u/FerrumVeritas to all of his fawking awesome posts about equipment, risers, etc. Me and some friends started archery a few weeks ago, and after weeks of looking around and compiling info, the best I could share with my friends are mostly his posts interspersed with my own opinions and analysis in our shared spreadsheet. To the case! Not that I looked, but it doesn't look like anyone has done this yet? I wanted a case, but didn't want to carry around a rifle sized case. Nor did I want something obscenely heavy. I prefer a hardcase, but they were all exorbitantly expensive. I like the look of SKB, and the reviews and reputation is there; but for the price, I don't feel like the value is there. I also wanted something a bit different. Enter the Pelican 1605 Air! Website measurements showed a 25" riser was a tight fit in the Pelican, so I took a gamble that 1/2" of foam was plenty to protect the riser's ends. ...

How To Buy/Make a Portable Target?

By
First post, howdy to all the archers! Here's my dilemma. I'm brand new to archery, and live in California. I'm determined to take my bow out to the desert on BLM land with me on an overlanding trip, but the problem is I can't seem to figure out how to bring a portable target with me. Space is limited in my SUV, and bringing a giant packed archery target bag thing will just take up too much room. Does anyone have any advice or ideas on how to practice some archery out in the desert without lugging around a giant straw target etc? Thanks for any help! submitted by /u/PerfectForTheToaster [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3r0HV99 via
