Grip / Bow torque help.

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.

Troubles with Thumb Draw...

Hello fellow archers! TLDR: I can't get my arrows to fly straight while using thumb draw. Please help! I started my archery journey for real last year with recurve. I loved it and I have become so much better than when I started. I've been using split finger, Mediterranean draw. My form is good and my arrows always fly straight and stick straight into the target. All I can see of the arrows is nocks and feathers when they're in the target. That's where I want to be. That makes me happy. Thumb draw, however... I have been practicing with it for a few months now. I've been using both Alibow's Mongolian fiberglass bow and their laminated Turkish bows. Both bows are 30# at 28" I have both a leather and plastic thumb rings that fit well. I've been shooting tight groups with thumb draw but my problem that I can't seem to fix on my own and can't learn from videos is that my arrows are always sticking in at an angle. I've tried Khatra, changin...

Question to arrows

Hello! I just started with archery, I joined a club and bought a recurve set "for beginners" (it was on sale and had everything i as a newbie needed) Sadly the arrows I got don't work for me And I don't know anything about arrows. I tried to find out what arrows I needed, but I don't know what spine i need, or how long they are supposed to be also I don't know what tips are allowed for competition (it seems mine are for hunting/3d target shooting) How do I calculate my spine or length? I have a 68" recurve with 24 lbs limbs I think my draw length might be around 25 to 27. What is the difference between "1170" and "16/16" ? I mean, what does the "/" in particular mean? This is actually very confusing I hope someone can help Thank you 🏹🍀 submitted by /u/ViviAliasTobi [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3FCc4Qa via

Shooting 40lb recurve with fingers

I’ve been competing with a 20lb genesis bow for 3 years and just graduated. I am used to using a three finger release and have always done so without a glove. However, i have recently purchased a 40lb recurve which i intend to hunt with but i have found that it hurts my fingers after only maybe 20 arrows. I have a glove but I can’t shoot well with it because it messes up my release (why i never used it with genesis). I had a similar problem to a lesser extent when I started with my genesis but after a while it stopped bothering me. Will it cause any damage to my fingers to continue shooting without a glove? And if so, can you recommend any other options for protecting my fingers or should I just try to make my glove work? submitted by /u/Shmoop-Dog [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3kQK7dh via
