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?

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...

Recurve string hitting wrist area...

By
Hi, ​ I just upgraded my 26lb to a 40lb bow, I'm loving it's power but I am having a consistent issue with hitting my wrist with the string every time I full draw, never with half draw, please see: https://imgur.com/sltnRTI ​ I have tried different hand positions, like rotating my wrist away from the strings path but it just feels so unsteady when drawing. I don't feel like I'm holding it majorly wrong, I never encountered this issue with my 26lb so I'm a little confused about what the cause may be. ​ Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am still pretty nooby with archery so perhaps I am just dumb. ​ I believe my brace height is 7.5 inches if that helps, it is a 70" bow, my hand is comfortable on the grip when drawing, it isnt majorly up or down, and looks straight to me, and like i say, rotating it away just leaves me with little control over the bow. ​ Edit: My string is a 70" string, the riser for my new bow is 1" longer than my 26lb...

Question on bow fit - Mathews V3 31"

By
Long story short: I decided after 2 years to upgrade my used Dreniln. Went in to a local shop and they steered me towards a V3. In hindsight they didn't spend near as much time with me as they should have. Anyway, my wingspan is just under 76" and the bow is set at it's max draw length of 30.5". In order to get a good sight picture and have my nose touch the string, I need to tilt my head down just slightly, which then causes my jaw to change position and a loose a bit of my anchor point. Is this common for a shorter bow, or should I really have gone with a bow that goes to 31" and/or a longer axle to axle to get a better angle? V3s are hard to come by around here so I may be able to recoup most of the cost of the bow if I decide to switch. Not sure what to do. I went back to the bow shop and the guy said "That's the cool thing about archery, some people move there head, lean back, lean forward, it's all a matter of how you want to shoot"...I...
