Hoyt Torrex - QAD Hunter Ultrarest too low or D loop too high

Just walked out of the shop with a brand new Torrex package that I have been salivating over since it was announced. The shop might not have tied D loop in the correct place on the string when setting up the bow, because I feel like the arrow does not rest at exactly 90 when nocked and the rest is engaged, it appears to be very slightly angled downward. I inspected the QAD Ultrarest and it appears there is no height adjustment - only forward/rear tilt and horizontal. I adjusted the tilt slightly to ensure the rest was at 90 when fully engaged. I began shooting at 10 yards to see how bad it was and it was worse than I thought, more than 6 inches below top holding point at such a short range. I dialed the sight all the way to the lowest possible setting and it is workable, just doesn't seem right at all. Haven't been able to test beyond 20 yards due to limited space (2nd highest holding point works at 20y).

Another thing, when the shop was adjusting the draw weight to my desired poundage, the guy was putting all his weight on the bow (cam) as he worked the limb bolts, I know its a hoyt, just made me squirm a bit.

Do i have more money than brains? Yes I'm fairly inexperienced to compound bows (2nd one lifetime).

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

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...

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 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
