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.

I would take a takedown recurve bow as my primary SHTF/bugout weapon

This is the type of opinion that is subject to change. In the near future, deteriorating political, economic, and social circumstances may result in many people having to rely on weapons to obtain food and defend themselves on a regular basis. Alternately, some people desire to leave civilization for a life of self-sufficiency in the wilderness, perhaps temporarily, and will encounter the same challenges. Generally, firearms are the preferred weapons among people who seek to prepare themselves for these events. I have owned and used a wide variety of firearms over many years and own several right now. 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. It's ad

Having Trouble Figuring out a Backstop Situation

By
When I was around thirteen, I got my first recurve bow, and every weekend I practiced really diligently. I feel like I got pretty good for a casual archer. But having to wait for the weekend and going to the same indoor range just to shoot my bow for an hour or two got boring. So as life got busier, I stopped shooting as much. Alas, this is my sad tale. Now I'm 22, I live in a new area, and got a new awesome 50# recurve bow! The only problem is, I don't have the time or the money to go to an indoor range, and I'd just run into the same problem. I feel like my backyard is big enough, I called the city and they said so long as I'm not shooting at other people's houses or if I have a large enough structure in the path of my shot, I was clear to shoot in my yard. At the moment I'm looking at shooting at the side of my garage where it's probably around 10ft wide and about as tall. I don't think I have quite 30ft of distance, maybe not even 25ft, but don'
