Where did you go to learn arrow selection 101?

I'm buying arrows for the first time since my bow (and arrows) were given to me almost four years ago, and before I do that, I've decided to familiarize myself with all of the things that I had no idea made a difference in grouping and accuracy so that I can make an informed decision about which type of arrows I want to get.

It's all very exciting, and I'm learning a lot. But my teeny issue is each time I open a blog post, I encounter a new acronym or bit of terminology or something that the author assumes I must be familiar with, (that I am most certainly not familiar with.) So, I open a new tab to find the definition, which leads me to another blog post with MORE unfamiliar terminology... lather, rinse, repeat.

I'm currently 13 tabs deep and the rabbit trailing is endless. Which isn't a bad thing! I'm very happy to learn this the hard way, but I'd still like to know if any of you have any particular resources you learned from when you were early in your archery journey that explained the basics of arrow spines, GPI, bow poundage, bow type, and how all of these various components act together to affect the trajectory of a given shot.

Thanks so very much in advance, and happy Sunday to everybody.

Troubles with Thumb Draw...

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...

Shooting 40lb recurve with fingers

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

Question to arrows

Hello! I just started with archery, I joined a club and bought a recurve set "for beginners" (it was on sale and had everything i as a newbie needed) Sadly the arrows I got don't work for me And I don't know anything about arrows. I tried to find out what arrows I needed, but I don't know what spine i need, or how long they are supposed to be also I don't know what tips are allowed for competition (it seems mine are for hunting/3d target shooting) How do I calculate my spine or length? I have a 68" recurve with 24 lbs limbs I think my draw length might be around 25 to 27. What is the difference between "1170" and "16/16" ? I mean, what does the "/" in particular mean? This is actually very confusing I hope someone can help Thank you 🏹🍀 submitted by /u/ViviAliasTobi [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3FCc4Qa via
