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.

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 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...
