Numbness/Pain in ring finger of the Drawhand

By

Hi,
I have a Problem, but maybe somebody has got a good solution.
I am shooting recurve since a little over a year now with approx. 500 Arrows per week, sometimes less sometimes more.

I recently increased my bow-weight from 30 to 36. At the Same time I upgraded my string to one that’s marketed as a “highspeed”. I think some type of fast-flight Material, but they don’t specify that.

After Shooting that now combo for a week or two I started to have a numbness in the tip of my ring finger.

I went to an archery shop, where they told me that my tab was to small (width-wise). They sold me a new tab with cordovan leather and told me, that the numbness will stay a while because I damaged my nerves.
A few weeks later the pain numbness was gone and I started shooting again. First two days (50 Arrows each) went fine. The Weekend after that we where at a 3D Parcour where I shot approx.. 100 Arrows. And my finger was hurt again.
I again waited 3-4 Weeks for the numbness to go away, reduces the draw-weight back to 30. But now first time Shooting (approx. 70 Arrows) the numbness started again.

This is really bothering me. Shooting the bow was my Stress relieve from work the past year and now this. And I also can’t just push through it because when it influences my release.

Do you guys have an idea for me? Do I still have the wrong tab? Or am I doing something else wrong?

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...
