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?

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...
