Genesis bow tuning. Finger savers. Dolphining. I need help.

By

I'm helping coach the archery team at my kids school. Several kids on the archery team have arrows that dolphin pretty badly and I'm hoping to learn enough to correct that. I'm the most "nuts and bolts" guy in the group of parents so it has fallen to me to try and learn what I can about tuning genesis bows and Easton arrows as used for NASP competition.

I measured the nock points at 3/8-1/2" above center for everybody.

So, as I understand it, best case scenario with max draw length, max draw weight, and crisp release the arrows are too stiff. At worst with a lower draw weight, shorter draw length, and mushy release things only get worse.

I assume this is going to be a case of minimizing rather than eliminating all arrow tuning problems.

Several kids have finger savers on their strings. The bows with finger savers tend dolphin the most. I'm not certain that the finger savers are causing the dolphining but noticed the correlation and thought I should mention it.

What can I do to try and eliminate the dolphining? I tried moving the nock point down to about 1/4" above center on one of the finger saver bows and it seemed to make things worse. How far above center is too far?

Thanks

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 ...

Question to arrows

By
Hello! I just started with archery, I joined a club and bought a recurve set "for beginners" (it was on sale and had everything i as a newbie needed) Sadly the arrows I got don't work for me And I don't know anything about arrows. I tried to find out what arrows I needed, but I don't know what spine i need, or how long they are supposed to be also I don't know what tips are allowed for competition (it seems mine are for hunting/3d target shooting) How do I calculate my spine or length? I have a 68" recurve with 24 lbs limbs I think my draw length might be around 25 to 27. What is the difference between "1170" and "16/16" ? I mean, what does the "/" in particular mean? This is actually very confusing I hope someone can help Thank you 🏹🍀 submitted by /u/ViviAliasTobi [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3FCc4Qa via
