Arrow fletch direction

By

I've bought recurve bows, and compound bows. Usually they come with free arrows. My problem is they're fine to shoot with the recurves since the odd colored vanes face out. But on the compound bow it comes with an octane hostage-like rest (3 brushes) and I wonder if it's safe to shoot those arrows through there? I tested a few and they go fine but I suspect the nock orientation is not correct and you're chancing the arrow vanes not get caught between the brushes.

I am not able to rotate the nocks, because they're super glued in and when i tried to do that, I destroyed one arrow (the nock gets destroyed).

My choices for the compound now is this..

  1. Build my own arrows and make the odd vane point up.
  2. Get rid of the octane hostage-like arrow rest and use a drop-away.

I am leaving towards option 2 because it's much easier and cheaper for me since I can get cheap arrows for recurves to work with it as well.

I've never seen any cheap arrow sets with the odd vane pointing upwards.

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

By
So my budget has increased and i decided i'm going for a top-level sight for the target style recurve i'm building. It seems that Shibuya and Axcel are the top end, so for anyone who has experience with either one of them, or preferably both, could you tell me the differences, pros and cons, and which one is the best value? i'm planning on buying the most expensive, so the Axcel Achieve XP - Recurve or the Shibuya Ultima RC PRO Carbon Sight . If there's any other top end sights you think are better, let me know. I want this to be the first and last sight that i ever buy, and price doesn't really matter. Another question, on the Shibuya there's an option for "Single mount" and "Double mount." What do those mean? And lastly, is the sight aperture on either of the sights suitable, or is there better after-market apertures that are better? I'm sort of thinking that is something I should be buying from my local shop so i can actually te...

Is there any reason mediterranean and slavic draw shoot from opposite sides of the bow

By
When the release imparts the same twist on the string? It was my understanding that mediterranean draw has the arrow on the side opposite of the bow of the draw hand because of the twist imparted on the string affecting the arrow on release but that should mean that slavic draw would suffer from that problem. Am I missing something with this? Shouldn't that mean you could use a mediterranean draw on the same side of the bow as the draw hand and not have issues?

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 ...
