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...

Are my new arrows overspined?

By
Are 400 spine, 27" arrows overspined for 30 pound draw weight? The guy just picked the arrows, cut them and gave them to me. my old arrows were 500 spine, 32" so when I said that they looked overspined, he just shrugged and said "the chart says they're ok". Can anyone confirm my doubts? submitted by /u/Astaziel [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3pmjVLf via

My thoughts on the Sanlida X10 Kit

By
Full disclosure: Sanlida reached out to me about being an "influencer." Their model, at least the one offered to me, was not something I was comfortable with. That being said, I still shoot their limbs and have a high opinion of the value of their products. The Sanlida kit has been getting a lot of buzz since Jake Kaminski started reviewing it, and with good reason. It's a relatively affordable, relatively complete setup. But is it a good value? I think it's the best "kit" available. If you don't want to pick and choose the accessories you want, it's hard to beat. But I'm not convinced it's the best use of $1000 for recurve archery. Limbs: I do absolutely recommend these limbs. At $249, I think the Miracle X10 limbs are one of the best values on the market. They honestly shot nearly as well as $600 limbs. The pair I have do not have the QC issues that Jake's did, so I definitely got lucky. Many of the alternatives in this price po...
