How'd you get into it?

By

Hey gang!

Bored on a rainy Sunday and looking to generate some discussion.

So how did you get into archery? What kind of bow do you primarily shoot and why?

I'll go first:

I primarily shoot compound (a PSE Stinger) I got into archery as a kid in grade 6 or 7, because another kid I knew was doing it and it seemed like a fun hobby, that didn't require team play like hockey or other team sports. I was a small kid who didn't tend to do well athletically, but once I got decent at archery I fell in love with it

I continued to shoot (mostly 3d tournaments - compound barebow) until I was about 15/16 and my parents had a divorce. Naturally it was harder to get back into in those late teen/college years, so I had a long break.

At 25 I picked up a recurve (Olympic style) and did that for a few years but wasn't really digging the indoor scene I was in.

Flash forward to the present (I'm now 32) and I decided I wanted to get back into compound and eventually hunting which is the primary reason I chose compound again, and here I am today.

So what's your story?

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
