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?

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...

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...

Recurve string hitting wrist area...

By
Hi, ​ I just upgraded my 26lb to a 40lb bow, I'm loving it's power but I am having a consistent issue with hitting my wrist with the string every time I full draw, never with half draw, please see: https://imgur.com/sltnRTI ​ I have tried different hand positions, like rotating my wrist away from the strings path but it just feels so unsteady when drawing. I don't feel like I'm holding it majorly wrong, I never encountered this issue with my 26lb so I'm a little confused about what the cause may be. ​ Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am still pretty nooby with archery so perhaps I am just dumb. ​ I believe my brace height is 7.5 inches if that helps, it is a 70" bow, my hand is comfortable on the grip when drawing, it isnt majorly up or down, and looks straight to me, and like i say, rotating it away just leaves me with little control over the bow. ​ Edit: My string is a 70" string, the riser for my new bow is 1" longer than my 26lb...
