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.

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...

Recurve string hitting wrist area...

By
Hi, ​ I just upgraded my 26lb to a 40lb bow, I'm loving it's power but I am having a consistent issue with hitting my wrist with the string every time I full draw, never with half draw, please see: https://imgur.com/sltnRTI ​ I have tried different hand positions, like rotating my wrist away from the strings path but it just feels so unsteady when drawing. I don't feel like I'm holding it majorly wrong, I never encountered this issue with my 26lb so I'm a little confused about what the cause may be. ​ Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am still pretty nooby with archery so perhaps I am just dumb. ​ I believe my brace height is 7.5 inches if that helps, it is a 70" bow, my hand is comfortable on the grip when drawing, it isnt majorly up or down, and looks straight to me, and like i say, rotating it away just leaves me with little control over the bow. ​ Edit: My string is a 70" string, the riser for my new bow is 1" longer than my 26lb...

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...
