Looking for some bow advice, tuning, and when to replace bow strings

Is it unrealistic to find a pro shop that can patiently work with me and get my bow dialed in? I'm not talking about them coaching me but I'd like to get things such as my peep sight installed correctly with the bow technician knowing what's best. Correctly as in a correct to a proper anchoring position. Is this just something better to learn and do yourself? I've been itching to get back into archery lately. I stopped shooting for awhile because of frustration with my bows setup/tune... and COVID of course. I started out with a cheap entry level bow, the Diamond Edge SB-1. I went to my local pro shop and they didn't seam too helpful. At least in my opinion. Got my peep installed, had me pull the bow back to full draw and moved the peep up and down. Asking me if 'there was good'. Being a beginner at the time, you don't know any better. Knowing a little more now and looking back on it. I was leaning my head towards the peep. On separate instances I got a drop away rest installed. They didn't even want to shoot it through paper. The limb mount started to loosen up anyways. Eventually that peep started rotating and they advise me to buy new strings. The bow was fairly new so we put in a peep with tubing it keep it straight. The bow has now had a ton of arrows flung through it as I shot everyday. The strings started to get a little 'hairy'. Strings are kind of pricey. Based on the photos below would I need to replace the strings? (The peep is not tied in as I was trying to learn it myself). Last question, No matter how much I adjust the peep I cant get the string to touch my nose and corner of my mouth at the same time. From my research it has to do with the axel to axel (ATA) of the bow I have. Would need to adjust the d-loop length?

Thanks for reading!

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
