Things that surprise me about the school archery program

By

I joined the high school archery nasp program and these are things I’ve been surprised about.

1: they never state of practice if practice is mandatory that night or not: They sent a text this morning saying parent meeting tonight at practice but they didn’t say we had to come. And I’m not coming bc of stomach ache. But I don’t know wether to come stick it out or not bc they didn’t say you hv to.

2: they let you leave early and practice isn’t mandatory unlike other sports: I’m surprised they don’t kick me out bc I leave an hour early in the 2 hour session and I only come 1 day a week out of the 2 days. Or sometimes I don’t come at all depending on how busy I get with life outside school. 78% the reason I’m doing archery is because of this. I quit martial arts bc they required 2 days a week 1 hr session each.

4: no borrowing equipment like genesis bow: They said I can’t bc they need an adequate supply of right hand, left hand bows and they can’t guarantee it would ever come back. IMO they should put a gps tracker on it bc some kids can’t go out and buy one. And how are they going to be able to practice in free time. But then that cost more to buy trackers. After asking me and my dad just decided to go to the store the coach recommended and bought one. But I feel like it wouldn’t be that big of a deal to rent them out to students. It’s like the library rules if it’s destroyed you pay for it’s repair. But I can’t complain bc that’s how other sports are I don’t think the tennis coach would let you take home a racket.

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...

(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. ...

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 ...
