Olympic Recurve sounds different for first shot

My wife is using a SF Forged+ riser and 22 lbs limbs. Since she had had the bow, the first shot always had a bit of "twang". It only happens the first time the shoots after stringing the bow, it's fine for the rest of the session.

This has been happning for years, the experts at our club always said it's fine, but I'm not so sure anymore.

A few days back I took apart my wife's bow and checked everything. Checked tiller, aligned the limbs etc. Anyway, I rechecked the tiller of the bow before her first shot and then again after. There was a massive change. It went from -0.1 cm to almost -1.5 cm.

Now, this change in tiller might be due to my work on the bow on the weekend, but I also have a feeling it could be related to that twang sound she gets when she shoots for the first time.

Any ideas?

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

So my budget has increased and i decided i'm going for a top-level sight for the target style recurve i'm building.

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?

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
