Back tension and form discussion

Right now i shoot a tru ball index release, and a Mathews VXR 31. Was considering switching to a back tension, in hopes it might have some improvement on my shots. From videos i have seen there is a "standard" way to shoot, but that mostly applies to beginners and people doing it completely wrong in general. But they basically say however you shoot, as long as you can repeat it exactly every time, you don't necessarily need to shoot the "standard" way. For example i dont pull through my shots, something i would have to do if i switched to a tension release.

Aside from that i have really good form, and have a really smooth trigger finger from shooting rifles long range. I adopted that into my index release, there is no jerking, no trigger slapping, and i have a small amount of follow through, but im not as stiff as a board when it goes off. I can generally stay on a paper plate at 60yds. I still have tons of room for improvement, currently working on drawing to my face, instead of putting my face into place.

So my question is if i can consistently shoot decently well, would it be worth my time and try to switch to a tension release? And essentially re-learn how to shoot.

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

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

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?

Are my new arrows overspined?

Are 400 spine, 27" arrows overspined for 30 pound draw weight? The guy just picked the arrows, cut them and gave them to me. my old arrows were 500 spine, 32" so when I said that they looked overspined, he just shrugged and said "the chart says they're ok". Can anyone confirm my doubts? submitted by /u/Astaziel [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3pmjVLf via
