Question about compound bow maintenance

To keep a long story short, I bought a compound bow (Bowtech Infinite Edge Pro) last year and the planned avenue for using it fell apart. I've recently happened upon a place where I can possibly do some shooting, however the bow has been sitting unused for a bit over a year.

It's been stored in a case at room temperature and about 45-50% humidity with little by the way of temperature and humidity variation. I've taken it out here and there to clean, oil and flex the strings, but other than that I haven't been able to do much with it. I haven't fired it since I bought it and they put brand new strings on it.

My question is, what are the odds its safe for use? Should it be okay, or should I bring it in for maintenance before using it?

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

So my budget has increased and i decided i'm going for a top-level sight for the target style recurve i'm building.

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...

Are my new arrows overspined?

Are 400 spine, 27" arrows overspined for 30 pound draw weight? The guy just picked the arrows, cut them and gave them to me. my old arrows were 500 spine, 32" so when I said that they looked overspined, he just shrugged and said "the chart says they're ok". Can anyone confirm my doubts? submitted by /u/Astaziel [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3pmjVLf via
