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).

Shooting 40lb recurve with fingers

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...

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.

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 ...
