Need help with tuning my arrows...

By

Hello everyone. I was doing some research and trying to figure out if my bow set is correct.

My bow is a arc Roman snake bow 26# 60 inch bow. I can not find what is the bow’s GPP. From what I read online, the go to standard is 10 GPP.

The arrows I’m using are Black Eagle Outlaw feather fletch arrows. I have the arrows cut at 29 inches and they have a 6.1 GPI. The arrows have 85 grain target tips.

I measured my draw weight for my bow to be 25.8 pounds, at 10GPP; my total would be 258 grain.

My arrows at 29 inch with a 6.1 GPI and 85 grain tip is a total of 261.9 grain

Is my arrow with 261.9 grain and my bow able to fire an arrow weight of 258, is this acceptable? Should I try to lower my arrow’s weight to be less since the 261.9 does not include the weight of the arrow’s insert, nock, and fletching?

My POS with three under is 20 yards and my POS with split finger is 30 yards.

My arrows shoot fairly straight, unless I try to shoot beyond 30 yards. I just want to make sure I’m understanding the math involved in turning your arrows to match your bow.

Any advice would be wonderful.

A Historical Defense of Lars Anderson

By
If you've been on an archery forum in the last few years, you've seen the discussions about Lars Anderson and his speed shooting videos. The comments across the internet about his videos are almost universally negative. You wouldn't believe the hate this guy gets. In a way, it's understandable. In his videos, Lars essentially claims that modern archers have lost many of the techniques that made ancient archers so formidable, and that through his readings of ancient archery manuals, he was able to rediscover some of those techniques. He then demonstrates that by using those techniques, he has become the fastest speed shooter alive today. And oh my god, those claims set the archery world on fire. The amount of hate he got then, and continues to get, is insane.These are VERY bold claims, and it's only natural to be skeptical. However, I find most of his critics to be disingenuous. And through my own readings of the early archery writings, I find that Lars is a lot c...

Will a whisker Biscuit work on a Martin Jaguar takedown?

By
I have a old Martin Jaguar take down that i bought years ago on a sale I and rarely shot it. Mostly because it felt very heavy to me with a 45lb draw weight as a young teen, when I also had an easy to pull back compound. Any ways the bow has been sitting collecting dust and I would like to use it again. The model came with a crappy plastic arrow rest and I was wondering if I could added a whiskey biscuit to it without any issues? submitted by /u/sigrug [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3dWFgF8 via

Which Sites are Recommended for "Advanced Newbies"?

By
Hello there fellow archers, I'm newish to archery as a hobby and could use a little advice. When I first decided I wanted to give it a shot (sorry, I had to make that pun), I bought a highly reviewed, newbie-friendly, bow on Amazon. But... Just today, the 50" takedown bow I ordered completely broke, I cracked the handle, tore the bowling, have hairline fractures in both limbs, and probably a few more things. So anyway, I have a couple questions about what sites are recommended for "Advanced Novices" like myself. I'm pretty good, not great, but I do get a lot of enjoyment out of it as a hobby. So here's my questions: Which sites do you recommend for buying a much more reliable bow than the one I found on Amazon. The one from Amazon was rated as 55-60lbs, and since I broke it, it leads me to believe that I'd need a bow that's draw-weight is rated as something like 60-65lbs or 65-70lbs. My wife and I are on a pretty tight budget, so we can't a...
