    KG Falcon - thoughts?

    Does anyone have any photos and opinions to share about the KG Falcon? I had a shoot of the Osprey today and it was great, but now I've seen the Falcon on KG's website and I'm even more tempted! I love the looks, I have a long draw and would love something a bit different for 3D, without...

    Trad. recurve nock point height?

    I shoot a Bodnik Mohawk traditional recurve (37.5# @ 30.5") split finger with a glove - and I'm trying to set up some new arrows... I've been using Easton power flight 400s, with 125gr points and 5" feathers (that I was previously using at 45# on hybrid limbs, same bow, with 80gr points in)...

    [American Flatbow] trad recurve poundage dilemma

    I've recently taken to 3d shooting, and so far have very much enjoyed taking the extra bits off my CXT target setup and using that, but what I really want to do is get a one piece recurve to get a bit further away from the target world I shoot in most of the time. I've noticed that since I'm...

    Archery Rediscovered!

    I normally shoot Olympic recurve and have had a tricky year after a forced change from left to right handed - as such I'm always up for a bit of distraction from what I'm suppose to be doing! When a friend mentioned they were going for an nfas assessment at a local 3d course this week, I asked...

    Struggling with barebow and well, everything...

    I've been shooting left handed recurve of two years, with sights and stabilisers, clicker etc... and average high 560s for a portsmouth - pb 572 and BM scores outdoors. In January I got the index finger of my draw hand caught in a kids swing chain link while pushing my son. It was a swing that...

    Jager Grips order acknowledgement

    Hi, has anyone in the UK had direct dealings with Jager Archery Products ? I ordered a grip a week ago on their website, and it seemed to go okay and I paid with Paypal and the money has left my bank account. Since then I haven't received any confirmation of my order, despite sending an email...

    BareBowBook - is there one ?

    Is anyone aware of a decent book on the subject of bare bow shooting? I'm going to give it a go as a change from olympic recurve, and I like a good read when I'm not actually shooting. Maybe I just need to make it up as I go and feel the freedom of no-sight shooting... maybe I should close my...

    weak draw hand fingers

    Hi, I'm shooting a recurve at the same 40lbs I've been shooting for a year, indoors and out, and with the same finger tab that I love, but I've recently developed a problem I've not had before and I thought it might be worth getting some opinions as I'm not sure how to proceed to try and fix it...

    First ever Bowman score!

    Having problems with my back and achilles tendons at the mo so I've not entered any competitions for the foreseeable future. Instead I've decided to go for my next classification so I've started shooting 100 yards for the last couple of weeks. Hot on the heels of finally getting my 80 yards 252...

    Number your arrows!

    I've been trying for a while to get my 252 badge at 80 yards, and I've usually been scoring in the 220-230s with a best of 244 so all a bit inconsistent. I did my first competition a few weeks ago and so I had to number my arrows, and since then I've noticed that certain numbers were always...

    Sight mark range

    Hi all, I'm trying to get some sight marks so I can shoot a 1440. I wonder what other people do with their sights and how they cope with such a wide range of distances. I have found that no single vertical sight bar position will give me the range I need - If I have it set lower to give me a...

    Scope zoom range for shooting outdoors

    As I very much look forward to shooting outdoors again and begin the inevitable fantasy shopping for outdoorsy things like folding chairs, sun hats and thermal mugs, my thoughts have also turned to scopes, not having previously owned one. I'm quite happy finding a budget and doing some research...

    Draw length increase

    I've been shooting recurve for a year now, and since April have been using a clicker. The position of the clicker hasn't ever changed apart form early tweaks to get it set right. I got new limbs in about August, and finally wound them in a couple of turns at Christmas to try and increase my...

    New Gear!

    As I lean towards the temptation of a riser upgrade, I'm curious - is there a time of year when the archery industry launches new gear? I know if I want one now I should probably just choose one of the great risers the are out there now and have done with it but - and this may be all Apple's...

    Soma automatic bow stand

    Anyone know where i can easily get one (i.e. uk distributor) of these? Fivics Automatic Bow Stand I know it's expensive, but it looks like a great idea and I want to know that I could get one if I wanted one, or if somebody wants to buy me something frivolous... Or is there an alternative...

    Davis System recurve sight

    Evening, As my thoughts turn towards Christmas - and therefore inevitably archery gifts and upgrade paths - I am, just for sport (for now), putting together a bit of a fantasy bow, just in case like... I've come across a sight called the Davis 'System' by a guy in the US, and I do like things...

    Sore bow forearm

    Although I've been shooting reasonably well recently after 'discovering' a new way to relax my bow hand at full draw, I've nonetheless been experiencing some bow forearm discomfort for the last few months. Muscular and tendon pain, with a tennis elbowy feel to it. I've continued shooting 3 times...

    I Love Archery.

    I started recurve archery indoors earlier this year (thinking 20 yards was a long way) and got a D class badge at the end of it (PB 526 Portsmouth). I've enjoyed shooting outdoors so much, after some initial nerves. I've learned a lot from people around me, got my 252 badges at 30, 40, 50 and...

    Limb poundage advice

    I've been shooting recurve for about 4 months now, indoors, with 26lb limbs on my SF Forged+ riser. I have a 30" draw so I've been pulling 30lbs, and today I wound the limbs right in and have been pulling 33lbs with them all day and managed it just fine. I can feel it a bit now, but that's after...

    Brace height measurement

    Having just been fiddling with the brace height on my recurve, I thought I'd check the measurement on my longbow - well, a Bickerstaff flatbow, which I know technically isn't a longbow but I don't what else to call it without typing a whole description out every time... It's a long bow that's...
