Archery DIY? Need some help designing a backdrop

By

I need a backdrop just in case I miss my 60x60 cm foam target from a 10 to 20m range.. behind it is a solid wall, however it is owned by others. I'd rather not damage it and avoid any problems further down the road..

Challenge:

I need to be able to move it after I'm done with it. So something that can be assembled and disassembled.

Ease of carry. Something that fits in a bag? The bag for the stand is 71 cm (30 in) long.. i can get a light stand bag that's 1.1 m (43.3in) long as well

Size consideration: my first thought was 2m x 2m.. (78.7 in) is that enough? Should I make it bigger/smaller?

Current stand ideas:

  1. Green screen stand. It feels like the stand would not be stable and would fall off easily.

  2. PVC pipe and connectors.. something like what this person made https://youtu.be/UAfaWEjpKwE, make the back leg longer, front leg shorter.. not sure how strong the pvc connector is for the leg.. should be fine though?

Backdrop:

Green screens? Flannel blanket? Something that i can roll up once I'm done.. multiple layers of those things? Can't find a net unfortunately.

Thanks for the help!

Shooting 40lb recurve with fingers

By
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

Troubles with Thumb Draw...

By
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...

Help me identify a problem with aiming.

By
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 ...
