The November league is officially in the books! Prizes, finishing positions, and whatnot inside!

By

The Official 2020 Coronavirus League is DONE! May 2021 be everything that this crappy year was not.

There were... a lot of suspensions this session. If you can't participate, that's fine, but it kind of sucks to put all this together for everyone and then to have people just not show up. Please let me know if you don't think you'll be able to finish the next session before it starts, so people aren't just shooting against nobody. If we wanted to shoot alone, we could just practice at home.

In other news, let's all give a hand to the new League #1 archer, /u/archer_rob! He's my coach, so someone needs to go beat him next session!

Weekly Awards come first!

Squeek-er of the Week-er© (patent pending), of course, goes out to... sighhhhh... my opponent (because of course I would give up another Special Prize), /u/drsteezymd! They won their match against me by 11 points to take the award. Good job! ya jerkface

...in fact, upon reading a bit more, I gave up not one, but BOTH Special Prizes this week. Dr. Steezy took the Upset Of The Week™® prize from me as well.

I have failed everyone as a league leader. I will schedule my harakiri session soon to atone for the shame I have brought upon my league, my family, myself, and my horse.

Disclaimer: that was a joke, don't go calling 911 or anything. Although maybe go watch Mulan if you don't get the reference!

Final awards for the divisions are as follows:

Division 1

Gold: DrSteezyMD

Silver: Archer_Rob

Bronze: Solonys

Division 2

Gold: MikeRhyne

Silver: kcsskittles

Bronze: evelbug

Division 3

Gold: bananaboy23

Silver: dougbaker45

Bronze: 5lovestarr

My sincere thanks to everyone who participated, and congratulations to all the winners! Remember, everyone is signed up automatically for the January 2021 session, so if you need/want to pull your name from the list, you need to let me know!

I'll be posting a signup thread soon. If you know anyone that might want to join in the fun, please let them know about our league! The more people we have, the more even the matches and divisions should be!

I'll also be posting a discussion thread for changes to the league that anyone might want to propose. Keep an eye out for that!

I hope everyone's Christmas goes as well as it possibly can. Be safe!

PS: By the way, if you want to see the November sheet before processing, here's where you can do that!

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...

Help me identify a problem with aiming.

By
So im trying to learn how to gap shoot, but the problem is, the first step is 'use the tip of the arrow'. Now when I do this, I can already tell before shooting that if I use the tip of the arrow, the shot will go way left, this is obviously before even factoring in the gap above and below the target. I don't have too much trouble grouping in the yellow at 10ms, but the way im 'aiming' is just looking at the target and knowing that I need to shoot a certain distance to the right and a certain distance down. Im not using the arrow tip here...its hard to say exactly what im using as the reference its just a feeling I guess? I wouldn't say its instinctive as im definitely trying to aim I just don't know how im doing it, and I don't think it would hold up as I increase distance so I want to learn how to gap shoot properly. I appreciate having to adjust up or down as thats part of gap shooting, but if im having to compensate right, what could the problem ...

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...
