Getting conflicting information about arrow selection. How to select?

By

So I've been looking at getting some DIY arrows but am getting some conflicting opinions from different places.

My intended arrow length is about 29" at 40# draw weight (39.3# otf to be precise), and I currently do Olympic Recurve for recreation. Based on Easton's target arrow selection chart, this falls right at the edge between T6 (36-40#) and T7 (40-44#). So the natural question is, do you error on the weak side or stiff side?

I've heard opinions for both. Folks on archerytalk seems to tend to buy stiffer arrows. This means T7 group in my situation. My understanding is that this allows you to buy longer arrows that you can cut shorter later on if you move up in draw weight? But I'm happy with my current draw weight so this doesn't provide upside for me (until maybe my gear acquisition syndrome strikes again LOL). Also T7 group no longer has Inspire; and Carbon One/Avance are pricier.

OTOH Lancaster's customer service told me that Easton arrows tend to be on the stiffer end, so going a step down to T6 should be the choice instead. I've never used Easton arrows before so can't tell whether this applies for all arrows.

Ideally one would need to try both and see, but the closest pro shop with a range I can do some fitting is far and needs a long drive, so I want to make sure I do some homework before taking a trip.

I'm curious what folks on this forum think, and what the reasons behind going on the weak or stiff side. And what other factors you consider when getting new arrows?

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...

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...

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
