Do center cut arrow shelfs affect anchor point positions for traditional archery?

By

I see that the anchor point around the lips seem to be very common. Almost all of the bows that I see people use have a prominently cut out arrow shelf, or even a totally center cut arrow shelf.

However, I have been watching some videos and looking at pictures of people shooting "primitive/historical" traditional bows (longbows, recurves, etc) without arrow shelfs (or with minimal arrow shelfs), and they basically never anchor at the lips. These people (shooting 3 finger Mediterrean, Slavic, Asiatic thumb draw) always seem to anchor around the corner of the jaw, below the jaw, below the ear, or even past the ear.

I've watched videos where people say your anchor point in 3 finger Mediterranean draw should be the point around your head where you can line up the arrow to the target...so wouldn't this be affected by the center cut shelf since it's a perfectly center cut shelf allows a much wider variety of anchor points that can line up the arrow?

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
