Gillo questions

By

I posted this on the Gillo Gold Medal Facebook page, but I thought I would try here as well.

Hello everyone. I have a Gillo G1 27” riser with Q2 32# medium limbs, and I’m looking to buy some GTL 88 limbs 38# or 42# long. The Q2s are maxed out, drawing at 37#. I shoot 18m and 50m bare bow. I have a lot of questions, and I’ve been searching here, Reddit, Archery talk, a guy at Lancaster, and my club for answers. It’s becoming overwhelming. Some of my questions: 1. How many turns out on the tiller bolts to match limb # @ 26.5” from center plunger hole as measured on the GTL 88? Or how many turns out for a starting point? 2. What is unloading limit? 3. What does “clean from the inner surface of the bolt” mean in relation to tiller bolt unload limit? 4. Do Gillo limbs need to be reversed (top limb in bottom pocket) like I’ve seen recommended with other brand limbs for proper alignment? 5. With 4# limb increments, should I tune up or down? 6. On the GTL 88, a 42# limb is really 40# on a 27” riser? Subtract 1# per inch gained in riser length? 7. 27” g1, long GTL 88 limbs, can I buy an off the self string? Say an ABB 18 strand 72”? If not, What length string, 69 or 68.5? I’ve read conflicting info on this. How many strands, 16, or 18? What about the serving? Does it matter that it’s not centered because of the asymmetrical riser? 8. What do the disk weights actually do? I put 2 in the bottom pocket because my bow pitched up on release, but honestly, I don’t really know what I’m doing. Ideally, should a bow have no weight? 9. Is there a Gillo setup page where I can I find answers without hours/days of searching, and sometime dubious advice? There are team shooters using Gillo risers and GTL 88 limbs, can we access their set up? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

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...
