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

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!

A Historical Defense of Lars Anderson

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?

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"?

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...
