Arrow selection help

By

Moved to compound 4 months ago, I'm training 3-5 times per week, 2h+ each and willing to start my first competitions at 50m. I shoot 4 arrows during training and my average score is around 36, usually 10, 9, 9, 8 almost never hit below 8 at 50m on a 80cm target.

I'm currently shooting cheap arrows (like 5 eur each) and need to buy a new set for the competition (need at least 6 identical arrows and have only 5) and is the cheapest piece of my gear.

Some specs:

  • "slow" bow (300fps at 60# 28'')
  • 30'' DL
  • 47# training to move to 50#

From my understanding from the Easton spine chart I should have 550 spine, probably 500 if I move to 50# (currently shooting with 600 with 100 gr points and they flight really well at 47#) but I have no clue regarding arrow diameter, point weight and fletch type.

Also, at my beginner level and the huge price differences, I'm not sure how much is worth spending on arrows, I was thinking between 10 and 15 euro per arrow, does it make sense?

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
