Quiver on or off compound bow for spot and stalk hunting? Also, I'm having trouble breathing while shooting my compound?

By

I brought a 2021 Bear Legit compound bow 2 weeks ago to get into hunting. After shooting it a bunch, I (unsurprisingly) noticed my aim is off when I have arrows in my bow-quiver (which ofc is removable). Before I had the compound, I used to shoot a recurve and kept my arrows in a waist-quiver. That's what's natural to me, and reloading my bow-quiver every time seems logistically like a waste of time when I could just keep my arrows in a waist-quiver. But what's most important for me is being effective as possible for when I'm out there.

When I asked one of the employees at the range I shoot at, he said he doesn't put anything extra on his bow and keeps his arrows next to him because he shoots from a tree stand. While I want to try ambush hunting, my heart is definitely set on (eventually) learning spotting and stalking. Right now, I'm just working on my archery. But the question I wanted to ask experienced bowhunters was, given what I'm looking to do, should I practice with my bow-quiver or just stick to a waist quiver? Or should I practice with both? Thanks in advance.

Now regarding my breathing: When I'm shooting with my compound, I find myself so focused on making sure my form is right (right elbow up, left arm relaxed, aim with pin, etc.) that I forget to breath or I'm breathing short and shallow breaths. Have any of you experienced this and if so, what solutions worked for you?

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...

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
