Riser with large sight window

Riser with large sight window - target recurve

Hey all

Looking for advice. Unfortunately there's no local or even localish shops where I can get out and test out different risers. I know I need a larger sight window as my coach's bow is 66" (Ragim Matrix) and we've discovered for me to see the target properly even at 18m indoors I can barely see the sight or target as the riser is in the way.

What are some larger ILF risers for target recurve late beginner? I'm not looking to jump into a Hoyt Xceed or anything...but don't need the other end with a Sammick either. I would like to get into competitons hopefully as early as next year and ideally I'd like the same riser for a few years (or forever). Also, I'm a LH shooter so no risers just for RH.

Risers I've looked at that are available and seem to have decent reviews are Topoint Unison, Kinetic Arios2, Gillo G1(borderline price range) and G2, Mybo Wave XL and the WNS Motive or Vantage AX. All outside of the Mybo all are 25" risers which I really hope will have large enough sight windows. So ideally you can offer your help to what's available locally! If not, let me know what's available...elsewhere that ships to Canada! LOL.

Thanks!

(New?) Dual Takedown Recurve Case Option

Before I get to the case. HUGE shoutout to u/FerrumVeritas to all of his fawking awesome posts about equipment, risers, etc. Me and some friends started archery a few weeks ago, and after weeks of looking around and compiling info, the best I could share with my friends are mostly his posts interspersed with my own opinions and analysis in our shared spreadsheet. To the case! Not that I looked, but it doesn't look like anyone has done this yet? I wanted a case, but didn't want to carry around a rifle sized case. Nor did I want something obscenely heavy. I prefer a hardcase, but they were all exorbitantly expensive. I like the look of SKB, and the reviews and reputation is there; but for the price, I don't feel like the value is there. I also wanted something a bit different. Enter the Pelican 1605 Air! Website measurements showed a 25" riser was a tight fit in the Pelican, so I took a gamble that 1/2" of foam was plenty to protect the riser's ends. ...

Help me identify a problem with aiming.

So im trying to learn how to gap shoot, but the problem is, the first step is 'use the tip of the arrow'. Now when I do this, I can already tell before shooting that if I use the tip of the arrow, the shot will go way left, this is obviously before even factoring in the gap above and below the target. I don't have too much trouble grouping in the yellow at 10ms, but the way im 'aiming' is just looking at the target and knowing that I need to shoot a certain distance to the right and a certain distance down. Im not using the arrow tip here...its hard to say exactly what im using as the reference its just a feeling I guess? I wouldn't say its instinctive as im definitely trying to aim I just don't know how im doing it, and I don't think it would hold up as I increase distance so I want to learn how to gap shoot properly. I appreciate having to adjust up or down as thats part of gap shooting, but if im having to compensate right, what could the problem ...

Question on bow fit - Mathews V3 31"

Long story short: I decided after 2 years to upgrade my used Dreniln. Went in to a local shop and they steered me towards a V3. In hindsight they didn't spend near as much time with me as they should have. Anyway, my wingspan is just under 76" and the bow is set at it's max draw length of 30.5". In order to get a good sight picture and have my nose touch the string, I need to tilt my head down just slightly, which then causes my jaw to change position and a loose a bit of my anchor point. Is this common for a shorter bow, or should I really have gone with a bow that goes to 31" and/or a longer axle to axle to get a better angle? V3s are hard to come by around here so I may be able to recoup most of the cost of the bow if I decide to switch. Not sure what to do. I went back to the bow shop and the guy said "That's the cool thing about archery, some people move there head, lean back, lean forward, it's all a matter of how you want to shoot"...I...
