Dry fired my V3 yesterday

By

Embarrassed the hell out of myself in the middle of a pro shop. I was in there to get the 75# mods on my V3 and wanted to try out a thumb release. The bow tech opened the release I wanted to try and I was so excited to try it, completely forgot to nock an arrow, hit the thumb release and blew my string apart. Immediately called myself a dumb ass and heard a little snicker from somebody else in the shop, which was completely understandable because I was in fact, a dumb ass. They did not have a V3 string in stock, but luckily somebody else had just got custom strings for their V3 27 so I was able to shoot. The bow tech gave the bow a look over and said it looks good, and after shooting it is still shooting well, so hopefully crisis averted. Just thought it was a bit of a funny story and wanted to share, and to spread the well known word, DO NOT DRY FIRE YOUR BOW!

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?

Are my new arrows overspined?

By
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
