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

By

​

​

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).

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 ...

(New?) Dual Takedown Recurve Case Option

By
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. ...

Question on bow fit - Mathews V3 31"

By
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...
