Archery Tips For Beginners

In your opinion, what is the best Hoyt model and why? I’m thinking about getting a used Rx1, but am open to suggestions. submitted by /u/DachshundBro [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/2TK0ZXv via

So I want to get into archery as I like the skill behind it. I want to shoot recurves since they seem like the more do it yourself type of bow. I’ve heard you can destring and work on recurves whereas compounds require more tuning with machines since there are moving parts. With that in mind what bow would you fine folk recommend for me to get and use. For price range I was thinking a couple hundred bucks but no more than 400-500. submitted by /u/funkymacaco [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3oMBKlp via

As the post says Im debating between the two and am hoping for some insight. I am inherently more drawn to the hunting bows though it is very unlikely I will hunt with it (but not impossible). I will mainly be doing outdoor target archery. I think it would be fun to try to do some competitions as I get better (there are many that happen around me). Are both types of bows usually allowed in the same competitions? Are there limitations I may not realize to getting one over the other. I just want to get all the facts so I don’t spend a large amount of money and wish I had gotten the other. submitted by /u/frillfin [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3oLBVOc via

Hello, I am fairly new to archery (I'v shot bows before but for hunting) and I want to start bow hunting for white tail deer and possibly turkey. I have found these two bows an need help deciding between them.

Looking to buy a Kestrel or Phoenix, but I'm abroad atm and there's a lot of counterfeit Oneidas around. I've heard Oneida bows have their serial number beneath the handle. Aside from that, is there any way to verify an Oneida is legit? (Would also be super helpful if any of y'all got a picture of what the serial should look like). Thanks! Btw, I've also sent a message to Oneida, though they haven't replied me back yet. submitted by /u/OrdinaryAntique9591 [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3mJKpDF via

I am getting into target compound archery as an intermediate level archer, and looking for suggestions on what’s the easiest way to kit out a bow at a reasonable price to performance to both improve with and something that I could take to local competitions until I upgrade things as I get better. I know stabilizers like doinker are name brand, but it’s hard as someone who is just getting serious about archery to know if there are alternatives. Sights- it seems most people go single pin sites with adjustable rails, I’ve seen shrewd as a brand that keeps coming up. Do target sights have minor magnification usually? Arrows— I’ve mostly been shooting Easton x7s with 100 grain target tips, is that the norm? It was based on a friend’s recommendation. Poundage on bows — I’ve seen this be something debated over, my bow has a 45-55 lb limb setup, is that too slow for target bows? Sorry for the lack of knowledge, my local clubs have been less responsive with covid so a lot Of times I am sh...

I am not completely new to archery (maybe a few hundred shots a few years ago and a few recently) but that was with compound. And its time I BUY a bow. I've never bought one before (only gifted) and I am having trouble deciding I know there are a lot of these posts but I just have a few questions and would like suggestions because I have been doing SO MUCH research and I always prefer to hear what real people say for comparison. Every manufacturer goes "good bow. Lots of power." And the reviews are all basically the same for all of them So whats the difference? If I get a $5-600 bow is it noticeably better than a <$200 bow? It seems like every bow is either a "beginner" for $150 or its "pro Olympic" at like over 700, I just don't know how much to spend. Before you ask I'll tell you what I'm planning in doing with it, I'm going to mostly be doing target practice and when I'm ready I want to be able to hunt with it in the future...

Hi all, I've been shooting the PSE Stinger X for two years now and I'm ready for an upgrade. I have all the necessary add-ons so I'm looking for a slightly better bow that I can buy bare. The Hoyt Klash seems to be a good bow. Entry level but still seems like an upgrade in quality from the bow I'm shooting now. The main purpose will be for hunting and target shooting to improve at hunting. I've seen multiple reviews that label it as a 'kids' bow. At my 29" draw length I can max it out to #70 draw weight which would be plenty for deer, I think it's 300 fps. I'm looking for a second opinion and maybe possible alternatives in the same price range. I'm 28yr old 5'11 male. Currently shooting at #60 but working my way up.

I like shooting with firearms, especially handguns, and I am looking to try archery with my mother who is already in the sport, albeit a beginner herself. I tried archery with an olympic bow and a sight before, hated it. I just don't like "guessing" where the arrow might hit. So I thought about a compound bow, as 2 aiming points and a trigger release might feel more familiar to me. Plus, you don't have to buy cartridges for a bow (providing you don't lose or break any arrows). What do you guys think? is a compound for me or is archery just not for me? Another thing I don't like about archery is the inherent slowness of arrows, so does a higher poundage make a noticeable affect on the arrow? fyi right now I have a 30 lb bow, and my draw length adds about 8 lb. submitted by /u/Astaziel [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/31WAUJ2 via

So I've been shooting for about 6 years and sort of developed really bad target panic 2 years ago. I'm not too fussed about looking bad at my club or not being able to compete anymore - but I'm starting to lose patience a little bit and wondered if anyone who's overcome target panic had any tips that helped them or a rough timeframe of how long it took them to get back to normal? I have faith I'll keep shooting and won't give up but it'd be nice to know if there's any real tips or tricks (Blind shooting is the only thing I've found helps so far?) submitted by /u/kachwezi [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/35Qcr9x via

I just bought a 50" Kaya KTB to hold me over until my Mariner arrives. My draw length is a little over 32"; I thought that korean bows would be able to accommodate that, but when I'm close to full draw I get a crazy amount of stacking and the bow limbs are parallel with the ground .

I have been a serious archer for about about 25 years now, but I have never shot anything other than compound. I would like to get into recurve (just target shooting for fun, I don’t have any interest in hunting with it). The prob is there aren’t any shops around me that sell them, so I am thinking of ordering online. Is there anyway to reliably tell my specs from my compound bows, or is it a completely different animal? (I shoot my compounds with a thumb release if that helps at all) Also, any recommendations for a good bow option for that purpose would be great! submitted by /u/Turtlew27 [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/2GjsOms via

Hi! I am choosing between Ragim Wild Cat and Ragim Matrix but I struggle with the sizing. And because there is a lockdown in my country (and most likely will be for a long time) I have no possibility to try it anywhere. I am 175 cm (5'9) height, around 65-70 kg (150 lbs) weight. My draw lenght is between 27-28 inches (closer to 28) so I am deciding between the size of a bow 66 or 68 but don't know which would be a better fit. And then of course the draw weight. I don't do any sports beside the long walks with my dog. The articles on the Internet usually recommend for beginners around 25 lbs. Is it to much? 22 lbs would be a better choice?

Anyone here have experience painting on bows? Such as this? http://nawalny-bows.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/ssss.jpg http://nawalny-bows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/b.jpg I would think since the bow bends so much the paint would eventually crack and separate and flake off.

Hey guys! So for context I shoot with an olympic recurve, and recently I was lucky enough to get a full-sized (~2m high) locker at my club to store my gear. Up until now I had to bring everything from home each time, stored nearly in my bow bag, then take 5-10 min to unpack everything and set up the bow before being able to start shooting. So having that locker is a blessing. Now I was wondering, because of its size I could technically be able to store my bow unstrung in it standing up, only removing the sight, stabilizers and plunger. But would that be safe for the bow in the long term? I'm worried that having the weight of the bow pressing down on one limb all the time might not be good, and will affect the performance after some time. I usually come to shoot at least once a week, but I'm still wondering if that could be an issue. Would it be safer to fully disassemble it each time before storing it? How do you guys usually store your bow when you're not using it? s...

The indoor range doesn’t allow broadheads, but I need to broadhead tune my bow. There is an outdoor range nearby that is bring your own target. Which target is the best for broadheads?

I have been using a Bear Advantage Hunter which was given to me during spring. This is the first bow I have ever owned. I have been shooting it 4 times a week since May. I killed my first deer two weeks ago with this bow. I feel pretty confident in my consistency and accuracy. I tried to find info on this bow but all I found was that it was made exclusively for walmart. Long story short, I decided to upgrade today and I bought a Bear Moment #70 used. I believe this bow is much faster (340 fps) and it will be tuned to 10 lbs heavier draw weight (70lbs). My draw length is 29 inches. My main question is about spine and point weight. From reading online it seems like I need 300 spine but how do the tip weights change things? Do I get more kinetic energy from a heavier field point? More penetration with my broadhead? Is there any advantage to hurling more mass down range or is it all about tuning tips to arrows to make them fly correctly? submitted by /u/twinkledinx [link] [comme...

I asked this question a while back but I'm starting to run into a problem here. PSE Coalition Crossbow Bolts. I ordered some through Optics Planet mainly due to the fact they were the cheapest around. This was 3 months ago now. It showed they had them etc. Almost a day later got an email saying it was back ordered to mid October. Okay no problem I don't need them right away. Just got an email now stating they no longer carry the bolts. Start looking around and theres nothing. Out of stock. Unavailable. Unknown when it's coming back.

Edit: meant to say recurve bow not now! Lol So me and my girlfriend are looking into getting into archery a bit in our free time, we have a pretty significant height difference, I’m 6 3” she is 5 2”, I understand height and length of bow is a big part of it so I was wondering if there might be a sweet spot or a in between lengths where we can both use the bow and have a fun time shooting targets and what not. If it’s a bit nonsensical for us to share a bow lemme know, I just figured if there would be a way for both of us to share one I would ask.

Hi, I'm trying to get my broadheads tuned so I can join along with my dad with deer hunting however, I'm not really sure what to do next. A local bow shop paper-tuned my rest already I shoot Carbon Express Terminator Hunter 350 spine arrows, 30 inches long with no changes made to them from Wal-Mart. My draw length is 26 inches if that matters The broadhead I use is Magnus Stinger 100 grains. The rest I use is a Trophy Ridge Whisker Biscuit.

Hello world. I am looking to get into compound bow target practice. I don't need anything fancy just something to mess around in the back yard with.

I finally received my bamboo arrow shafts today and I am trying to figure out how to make it all work. I ordered 33" shafts but they sent me 38" so easy enough to cut them down but then comes the question of self nock or glue on. Which one would you recommend? And how about the tips. The shafts for the most part are a consistent 5/16" on the thick end. Glue on would be the easiest but I have read about people using screw in tips but I must be missing something as I am having trouble picturing it. I've sacrificed a few arrow shafts already trying to drill out the end to fit the diameter of the inner shaft before the threads. I cant get a consistent measurement as I no longer have a micrometer.

I recently had the great pleasure of shooting a friend's 21" Tiburon with short Trad limbs (so a total 62 AMO) and while at 45 lbs it was a bit overbowed for me I noticed less stacking than with other hunting-style ILF bows of the same size. Which is surprising given the short limbs! By the end of it, I didn't feel like I had just shot several ends with a 45 lb bow, which for me would typically stack to 47+ lbs. I don't know how much of that is due to the Formula system, or the quality of the limbs, or the geometry of the riser. Probably a combo of some sort I would presuppose. Assuming a Formula hunting rig is out of reach due to availability, I have some specific Qs about the Satori that I can't seem to find addressed in reviews. If you have a long draw, what is your experience with stacking between a Hoyt 19" or 21" riser versus other risers? How about the limbs, do they feel more linear on one riser or another? If you have also tried the earlier...

Hello folks, I went to sportsmans wearhouse and I can't really get an answer out of anyone. I asked what they would recommend for my bow that's maxed out at 60lbs (elite ember) and they just said "it's personal preference" which I understand. But I told them I want to start getting ready for elk season next year and don't know what arrows to get and nobody really gives me a direct answer so I'm lost. Some people say 350's, some say higher, however when I ask why I should go with those, they don't ever really give me an answer. I'm newer to archery and don't know a lot about arrow grains or what is better for what.

If I have my head in a neutral position, I seem to have to move my head to my string/anchor, which I know is incorrect. If I start in a “better” position, I still ultimately end up shifting my head to the same “feel” on my face/in anchor, but again, that’s not ideal...

Spent this whole year at the outdoor range with my son preparing for the opening of fall hunting season. Hurt my shoulder over the summer during our move, thought it would get better and kept going. The pain in my left shoulder became unbearable last week. I can’t even put shirts on or wash my hair without my husband’s help. Went to a sports medicine doctor and we have an MRI scheduled for next week but he’s already preparing me for the “extremely likely” surgery scenario. I won’t be able to do any archery until I get better. Any advice for getting back into it once I heal? I’m so crushed, I was looking forward to sharing in this important milestone with my son and now he has to go it alone. There are no other archers in our family. submitted by /u/Urbn_explorer [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/37YyhdV via

I know nothing about archery. my son wants to get into it and I bought him a used bow he asked for at a store, it's Browning Mirage 5-3E28 we drove out to some other place to go get it restrung and to buy some arrows. They did restring it, but did not have the right kind of arrows. The guy wrote down 27/12 Diameter/Thickness on a card and said they're expensive. His birthday is next week and I am looking on Amazon and having trouble determining what 27/12 means as far as looking them up. Can someone be so kind as to show me which kind of arrows I need to buy, and also tips (I'm sure that's the wrong word) if necessary?

Hey folks! I'm getting an english longbow (50lb/28", 60lb/32"), and I had a curiosity about arrows. I've heard that english longbows are happiest with wood arrows/feather fletching, but I'm having a hard time finding good info on the subject. Thoughts? submitted by /u/Blade_Song [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/31GiQTB via

Training in Barebow, starting to look forward to doing competitions. Besides the bare essentials like bow and safety equipment, is there any idea list of handy or day-saving items to keep in my main bag or quiver? submitted by /u/Highwayman1717 [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/2TtSqQw via

I noticed that my recurve bow is quite loud compared to others. I already tried to increase the space between the riser and the bowstring. That didn’t rly change anything. What else might be the issue? submitted by /u/Lemeeow97 [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/2Ts7cXW via

Morning to all! While I`ve been interested in Archery for a long time, my country doesn´t really offer a lot of options when it comes to clubs, information, equipment or just having someone in the know who can give advice. I´ve wanted to get into it for a long time, years really, but never had a. the chance to REALLY go for it, nor b. a nearby source of info or advice. Myself (48), Wife (42) and oldest (14) are interested in picking this up. We are absolute newbies, never having a bow in hour hands even. In your collective opinion and since "a local club" exists here but is very limited both in accesss (pandemic) and information, could you helps us by pointing to the very best resources online to educate ourselves about the sport, equipment and the sort? we are not natural english speakers but we all have a fairly good understanding of the language so it`s ok if all/most resources are in english. I`ve also no problem on reading/watching videos /exercising for a long time ...

I need to change the strings on my Hoyt Helix and there are no Archery shops in a 50 mile radius that can change the strings in less than 2.5 weeks so all of my planned hunts are essentially canceled if I cant get this done at home. Questions: #1) What is the best online resource to get decent strings for a Hoyt Helix - 30" draw length? #2) Has anyone changed the strings on a Hoyt Helix without a bow press? I'm aware that DIY changing strings is not recommended and will probably void the warranty which I'm not concerned with. I'm not being cheap I just don't want to miss all hunting this season. submitted by /u/ChopperNYC [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/2TtcOkO via

Okay so I was just wondering, it’s my 3rd day shooting and I’ve been doing around 5 hours + every day and have started to get consistent with 65% of my shots. Initially I just started with right hand Mediterranean Bc that felt natural until I saw online that it’s wrong? So I just started thumb drawing and did it for one day. But my question is, why can’t I use Mediterranean on right side??? Bc I don’t see why I can’t get accurate and consistent with this method. submitted by /u/koscar661 [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3msFAhT via

For context, I bought a 35lb traditional 'horsebow' before starting my archery lessons at a mainly Target recurve club. I've been doing lessons for about 6 weeks, and I'm pretty excited to bring my equipment in (which we do at 10 weeks) Anyway, I told my instructor about it and he just kind of scoffed at me, and said that I can't handle 35lbs (Which I've felt okay with when shooting at home. Albeit I don't shoot for more than an hour at a time). He said to pull the bow to full draw and hold it for 1 minute without shaking. And to do it about 12+ times per 'session'. Is this a legit way of training, or is he just trying to make fun of me? submitted by /u/Rekaigan [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/2J8dI4f via

Looking for a good target, I’ve had plenty of bags, not really a fan. I’ve also had a block, pretty good. Looking for something similar to the block. Currently I’m shooting arrows with tapered inserts, so if the targets too firm, I may loose some inserts. Secondly, I’m also open to arrow suggestions. Currently I’m shooting black eagle 300 spine. Having issues with the tapered inserts. They don’t seem secure, issues indexing broadheads, and overall just not confident in them.

Could one of you check my video and see if my draw length is correct? I switched from a index release to a thumb release and now everything just feels different. Sometimes it feels the string is just right and sometimes it feels too short. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXgepL7IbQM&feature=youtu.be submitted by /u/BigBoyTooFat [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3kAmt52 via

Good afternoon guys. I have a couple questions for everyone. The first one is, I have a Cartel Fantom riser in a very bland silver. I bought it used so I didn’t have a color choice. I was wondering if there are any drawbacks to repainting it. And if not if any one has done it before and how they did it. The second is regarding my sight. It’s a typical T style sight. The aperture of it is tiny. So I went looking to get a bigger on. And the all are like that no matter the sight. And replacements that are larger are all for compound bows, usually including some sort of magnification. I like the size though. Is there a reason not to use one if those with just a non magnified lens? submitted by /u/Tim1971 [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/37EPgBJ via

Can you guys help me with my draw length? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXgepL7IbQM&ab_channel=EdSu I switched from tuff guy index release to carter wise guy and the only anchor point i'm been using is making sure my hand touches my ear and string touches corner of my mouth. I was told to use my jaw bone as anchor but I think the string is too long for that. Should I get the string lowered to 27.5 from 28"? submitted by /u/HashtagEdward [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/2TlRGwE via

Hello all . I recently got into archery and I picked up a set of Bloodsport Hunter 7.9 gpi arrow shafts with vanes. I shoot a Southwest takedown recurve at 45 lbs with 150 grain field tips. Different calculators tell me different things the general consensus seems to be four to five hundred spine is optimal. My question is are these arrows okay or would I be better off going with a higher spine? submitted by /u/ChaoticDendrite [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/31GyRIW via

So I've recently been bit pretty badly by the bug, but I am both exceptionally tall and exceptionally lanky, and as a result have a 33" draw length, which is giving me issues. The rental equipment at my local range all stopped at about 28 inches of draw. I had a great time, but the compounds deeply awkward to use with the short draw length and the recurve I have been using (and loving) is pinching and I'm getting what I'm told is way more numbness in my fingers than I should be. The research I've done says I need a 27 or 29 inch riser with long limbs, but that same research is also telling me that's going to cost way more than I'd like starting out in a hobby. Is there any kind of budget option at my size? Is there a way to set up a 70" bow like the galaxy aspire to do less pinching until I make a decision about plopping down close to a thousand dollars on a 29" riser? Are there cheap risers in the 27" or 29" size? Thanks! submitt...
