Questions about wooden arrows

Hi! I have started to dip into the world of making my own wooden arrows (there was a workshop at my club about it and found it pretty interesting). I wonder if anybody knows of a good guide where they explain carefully how to choose the arrow side for the cock feather. I know that it should be parallel to the wood veins and that on one side the arrow will be stiff and the other soft but I cannot memorize a good rule when marking the shafts. Additionally… spine testers: DIY or cheap commercial o es that you would recommend (and available in Continental Europe)? Thanks!

If I had to pick one weapon to serve as a primary weapon (a full-size weapon intended to be used offensively, such as for hunting, and carried in the hand or by sling as opposed to a secondary weapon, which is complimentary, used defensively and carried on-person and possibly concealed, such as a handgun) I just might prefer my ILF recurve over any kind of rifle or shotgun.

A guide to dealing with target panic

I wanted to make a contribution to the useful copy pastas/reference guides, so here's an unofficial guide to target panic. It used to be that target panic was the affliction that must not be named. It was seen as something unescapable, something that could very well end an archer's career. Fortunately, we now have a much better understanding of what target panic is and how we can treat it. This has made it much easier to discuss it. Which is a very good thing, because target panic is common. If you're reading this, you probably have (had) it yourself or know someone who has it. What is target panic? Target panic is basically your brain going on auto-pilot. A very dumb auto-pilot. There are two basic flavours: The premature release type. You go through your shot process as usually, but before you reach anchor your body is like RELEASE! LOOSE! LET THAT ARROW FLY! And whoosh goes your arrow, towards a spot it wasn't supposed to go. The can't release type. You&#
