Turkish bow

By

Hello everyone!

I've been shooting recurve for a long time and just got my first Turkish bow. I am very excited about it, but I'm having a surprisingly difficult time finding instructive resources. Does anyone have any advice?

Particularly, I'm unsure of how to nock the arrow properly. I imagine that the arrow should face the opposite way (compared to western archery) because it is loaded on the opposite side, but, because there is no concave shelf for the arrow, it seems like it wouldn't be launched in a straight line. Should I hold the bow and rest the arrow in the center of the bow regardless? Do I need to shoot with my thumb? how should I hold the bow so that the arrow can rest on my hand? Do I need to anchor in a different place than usual? Thank you for your help!

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...

Is there any reason mediterranean and slavic draw shoot from opposite sides of the bow

By
When the release imparts the same twist on the string? It was my understanding that mediterranean draw has the arrow on the side opposite of the bow of the draw hand because of the twist imparted on the string affecting the arrow on release but that should mean that slavic draw would suffer from that problem. Am I missing something with this? Shouldn't that mean you could use a mediterranean draw on the same side of the bow as the draw hand and not have issues?
