A question about mechanical release effects on performance.

By

Just a little background: I grew up shooting traditional, I started learning to shoota compound bow with sights and release about four years ago and started hunting two years ago.

Now my whole time shooting a compound bow I've been using this releaseI dont remember where I got it or the brand, just that I paid 10 dollars for it. I get okay-ish groups out to 30-40 yards, at least enough that I'm confident to take a shot on a deer out to 30.

Now that I've spent some time getting more consistent with my form, my question is would a better release help increase my accuracy? I see releases on amazon/cabelas for $100-$200, is there a point of diminishing returns on these when it comes to price:performance? I mean, I like mine, its comfortable and it works, and its held up for four years so its pretty sturdy. But I want to give myself every advantage in becoming more consistent. Not looking for a "magic bullet" purchase to make me a world class archer, just wondering if a more expensive release would be worth it to improve my shooting by any noticeable amount.

TLDR; I have a 10 dollar wrist release, would buying a more expensive (and presumably higher quality) release increase my accuracy?

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

My thoughts on the Sanlida X10 Kit

By
Full disclosure: Sanlida reached out to me about being an "influencer." Their model, at least the one offered to me, was not something I was comfortable with. That being said, I still shoot their limbs and have a high opinion of the value of their products. The Sanlida kit has been getting a lot of buzz since Jake Kaminski started reviewing it, and with good reason. It's a relatively affordable, relatively complete setup. But is it a good value? I think it's the best "kit" available. If you don't want to pick and choose the accessories you want, it's hard to beat. But I'm not convinced it's the best use of $1000 for recurve archery. Limbs: I do absolutely recommend these limbs. At $249, I think the Miracle X10 limbs are one of the best values on the market. They honestly shot nearly as well as $600 limbs. The pair I have do not have the QC issues that Jake's did, so I definitely got lucky. Many of the alternatives in this price po...
