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!

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...

(New?) Dual Takedown Recurve Case Option

By
Before I get to the case. HUGE shoutout to u/FerrumVeritas to all of his fawking awesome posts about equipment, risers, etc. Me and some friends started archery a few weeks ago, and after weeks of looking around and compiling info, the best I could share with my friends are mostly his posts interspersed with my own opinions and analysis in our shared spreadsheet. To the case! Not that I looked, but it doesn't look like anyone has done this yet? I wanted a case, but didn't want to carry around a rifle sized case. Nor did I want something obscenely heavy. I prefer a hardcase, but they were all exorbitantly expensive. I like the look of SKB, and the reviews and reputation is there; but for the price, I don't feel like the value is there. I also wanted something a bit different. Enter the Pelican 1605 Air! Website measurements showed a 25" riser was a tight fit in the Pelican, so I took a gamble that 1/2" of foam was plenty to protect the riser's ends. ...

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 ...
