    Indoor bow

    Over the last couple of months of the indoor season I've been shooting four days a week-but three of them consecutively & I found it tiring (averaging 90+ arrows an evening) So now thinking of building up a bow with perhaps lighter limbs. I have a SF forged riser, SF elite carbon sight in the...

    Shot my 1st competition Saturday. Seaton Carew, Heugh archery club. Got into archery 3 years ago, but never really got "a bit more serious" about it until last year. Bought a complete new recurve setup January this year (two months shooting indoors to get used to it) I've gotten outdoors with...

    Securing sight to bow.

    Got myself a new riser for the coming season & have a Shibuya ultima on its way. On my old set up I had two hard plastic washers between riser & sight block with bolts thread locked, it seemed to do the trick. However does the Shibuya prefer locking down solid or do other people use washers on...

    New Win&Win axt riser and pre loved SF Ultimate pro limbs. After approx an 2 hrs of intial set up I'm finding that my knocking point is way higher than expected but bare shaft tuning says otherwise. (Approx 3mm higher-or perhaps my old set up was that wrong? Dunno!) Compared to my old bow SF...

    Slowly, slowly catchey monkey..

    Year 2 into my recurve learning curve. After the last six months shooting indoors, my scores have moved up the scale again. Tighter groups over a winter of none of those outdoors excuses, wind/sun or ducks wandering across the range (well we are outdoors!) Over the last couple of years I've...

    Foam or wood core limbs?

    Currently shooting SF Elite carbon foam limbs & looking to upgrade to full carbon limbs. Been looking at a few different brands, these limbs seem to have wood or foam cores & can find no real explanation of why the cores are made of these materials or why some company's offer the same limbs with...

    Should you-would you?

    Since buying my 1st bow 20 months ago things have moved on, scores have moved upwards (gently) over this time & I'm now thinking it may be time to upgrade my riser-but after discussing this with a few members at the clubs I shoot at, are split down the middle wether its worth the not...

    Indoors to outdoor question

    Shooting indoors a couple couple of times a week I've been averaging 9.1-9.2 per arrow (& pb9.25) on a 20m Portsmouth over the winter. Shot outdoors for the 1st time at 50m the other day & could only manage 8.6 What on earth am I doing wrong? The only thing that's changed is that I'm outdoors...

    Advice please

    Recently started shooting at a new club (to me) & got talking to a neighbour of mine who has just recently taken up the sport. After a couple of ends he started asking a few questions on form & repetition. Stood & watched while he shot 1/2 dozen arrows, then took a look at his SF recurve bow. No...

    Buzzing!

    Shot my 1st 6 arrow gold at 50yds Friday night (yippee ki-ay mo-fo ) Been steadily working my way from 20 (as a beginner) to 50 now.
