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.

Shooting 40lb recurve with fingers

By
I’ve been competing with a 20lb genesis bow for 3 years and just graduated. I am used to using a three finger release and have always done so without a glove. However, i have recently purchased a 40lb recurve which i intend to hunt with but i have found that it hurts my fingers after only maybe 20 arrows. I have a glove but I can’t shoot well with it because it messes up my release (why i never used it with genesis). I had a similar problem to a lesser extent when I started with my genesis but after a while it stopped bothering me. Will it cause any damage to my fingers to continue shooting without a glove? And if so, can you recommend any other options for protecting my fingers or should I just try to make my glove work? submitted by /u/Shmoop-Dog [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3kQK7dh via

Troubles with Thumb Draw...

By
Hello fellow archers! TLDR: I can't get my arrows to fly straight while using thumb draw. Please help! I started my archery journey for real last year with recurve. I loved it and I have become so much better than when I started. I've been using split finger, Mediterranean draw. My form is good and my arrows always fly straight and stick straight into the target. All I can see of the arrows is nocks and feathers when they're in the target. That's where I want to be. That makes me happy. Thumb draw, however... I have been practicing with it for a few months now. I've been using both Alibow's Mongolian fiberglass bow and their laminated Turkish bows. Both bows are 30# at 28" I have both a leather and plastic thumb rings that fit well. I've been shooting tight groups with thumb draw but my problem that I can't seem to fix on my own and can't learn from videos is that my arrows are always sticking in at an angle. I've tried Khatra, changin...

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 ...
