    arrow spine - too stiff....

    Doing some tuning for the outdoor season on Friday night, appeared to show my arrows up as being still (always felt that they were...). Shooting @ 30m, the bare shaft initially hit the wooden frame of the boss, gold high to the left. After a bit of tinkering, I managed to get the bare shaft...

    Trouble @ SAA....

    Received an email today stating that the SAA Board of Directors were all resigning with immediate effect. This was due to an "orchestrated campaign of hatred" targeting the Directors of the SAA. The matter has been reported to Police Scotland. Intriguing stuff, and not something I would have...

    Tab face material

    What kind of tab face material do you use & why??? For the past few years, I have been using Oberon (foam-type) as my main face. This has worked well, but recently I have found that each face isn't lasting as long, and after about 2.5/3 doz arrows, my fingers are starting to get rather sore...

    Finger tab wear???

    Had to replace my tab face last night since my last face lasted a whopping 19 days before ripping. I have been using Oberon material for a few years now and normally a face last ages. There may be 2 possible reasons: 1 - Material quality has dropped 2 - I'm doing something different which is...

    Looking up...

    Probably for he best part of a year, I've been struggling with my shooting - A lot of arrows going low, regardless of sight mark or distance. A few weeks ago, I got some coaching from Mr Kupris (:beer:), which has been a massive help so far - reduced draw length, resulting in a much more...

    Tied nock points???

    How do you tie your nock point on & get it all nice & neat??? I tend to tie a couple of knots @ either side of the string, then burn/melt the ends. This tends to give a reliable nock point, but not always the tidiest....

    Shooting Update...

    Can't remember when my last Blog entry was, but it was a wee while ago. I've been really struggling for a while now - It would appear that I've lost my shooting Mojo...:( My consistency has been terrible, and all through the indoor season, I've been dropping arrows low. At 18m, this usually...

    Interesting night with the new HEX 6's

    Had a VERY interesting night last night with my new HEX 6's....to say that they were "snappy" or "explosive" on release is a bit of an understatement. Having shot a few ends at 30m as a bit of a warm up, I then moved the target out to 70m. Shot a few ends and was pretty happy with the way...

    ACC v ACG arrows???

    Having a look at some arrow options & comparing the Easton ACC to the newer ACG Both have the same tolerances: - Straightness: +/- .002" - Weight tolerance: +/- 0.5 grains Weight per Inch: ACC (3-39/0.440 spine) = 8.6 gpi (266.6 gr @ 31") ACG (430/0.430 spine) = 9 gpi (279 gr @ 31") So the...

    HEX 6 Strings....

    Received my new HEX 6's yesterday...:D However the string I was using on my HEX 5's appears to be a tad short. When used with the 6's, and completely removing all twists, I am getting a BH of 8.5" - right at the very top of the rec. range. This string should be 68" long....and gives a pretty...

    a collective name for Border products....

    After discussions over the weekend about what you would call a collection of Border products, we came to the following conclusion: - a herd of cattle - a flock of birds - a pride of lions - a mortgage of Borders as such:

    Performance difference???

    What difference in performance would you expect to see between the different cores on offer??? Hex 6-w Hex 6-S Hex 6-h What sort of performance increase would you expect to get over a set of Hex 5-h's??? Also, does the BB modifications effect speed, or is it more to do with stability??? Cheers

    it's been a while...

    Can't actually remember the last blog that I posted - it's certainly been a good while. There hasn't been an awful lot to report really. Didn't get to as many competitions last year due to my wife being ill, but thankfully that is all behind us now and normal competition activity has been...
