Grip / Bow torque help.

By

So hopefully long story short I found out this past week or so that I torque my bow. How I found this out. I needed new cables, was shooting through paper at my shop and the tech could shoot bullet holes. I couldn't. The owner could shoot bullet holes. I couldn't. You might say it is just my bow. NOPE. I shot the owners bow which he shot bullets, I couldn't. I will say I can very consistently shoot 5-10 arrows through paper with the same 4 o'clock tear, like everytime. So whatever I do wrong, I'm consistent. They set my bow to center, where they were shooting bullet holes, and left it, by my request. I have been trying to remedy whatever I am doing "wrong" with my grip and no matter what I do or what they thought I should try, or what teachings can be found online, I cannot shoot bullet holes with a "tuned" bow. I did break that wrist as a kid and despite not really noticing lack of movement, this may have something to do with it. The only way I can shoot a hole is if I touch the front of the riser with my finger tips and pull left, steering the bow left. I know I can tune the bow to me, humble brag I have a robinhood at 60 yards with this bow, so I know it will shoot well, but would like to not have to jack the rest left if I can remedy the issue with grip. Any suggestions are welcome. I've thought about adding tape or something to the right side of the grip to build it up??? I may just have to be the guy who needs his bow "out of tune", but tuned to me.

A Historical Defense of Lars Anderson

By
If you've been on an archery forum in the last few years, you've seen the discussions about Lars Anderson and his speed shooting videos. The comments across the internet about his videos are almost universally negative. You wouldn't believe the hate this guy gets. In a way, it's understandable. In his videos, Lars essentially claims that modern archers have lost many of the techniques that made ancient archers so formidable, and that through his readings of ancient archery manuals, he was able to rediscover some of those techniques. He then demonstrates that by using those techniques, he has become the fastest speed shooter alive today. And oh my god, those claims set the archery world on fire. The amount of hate he got then, and continues to get, is insane.These are VERY bold claims, and it's only natural to be skeptical. However, I find most of his critics to be disingenuous. And through my own readings of the early archery writings, I find that Lars is a lot c...

Will a whisker Biscuit work on a Martin Jaguar takedown?

By
I have a old Martin Jaguar take down that i bought years ago on a sale I and rarely shot it. Mostly because it felt very heavy to me with a 45lb draw weight as a young teen, when I also had an easy to pull back compound. Any ways the bow has been sitting collecting dust and I would like to use it again. The model came with a crappy plastic arrow rest and I was wondering if I could added a whiskey biscuit to it without any issues? submitted by /u/sigrug [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3dWFgF8 via

Which Sites are Recommended for "Advanced Newbies"?

By
Hello there fellow archers, I'm newish to archery as a hobby and could use a little advice. When I first decided I wanted to give it a shot (sorry, I had to make that pun), I bought a highly reviewed, newbie-friendly, bow on Amazon. But... Just today, the 50" takedown bow I ordered completely broke, I cracked the handle, tore the bowling, have hairline fractures in both limbs, and probably a few more things. So anyway, I have a couple questions about what sites are recommended for "Advanced Novices" like myself. I'm pretty good, not great, but I do get a lot of enjoyment out of it as a hobby. So here's my questions: Which sites do you recommend for buying a much more reliable bow than the one I found on Amazon. The one from Amazon was rated as 55-60lbs, and since I broke it, it leads me to believe that I'd need a bow that's draw-weight is rated as something like 60-65lbs or 65-70lbs. My wife and I are on a pretty tight budget, so we can't a...
