    The danger of over doing it

    This week I have learned a valuable lesson. When people say ?to get good you need to shoot a lot of arrows?, there is a limit and that is your conditioning. Sunday just gone the 3 of us in my little group had the field to our self as most of our club are hiding indoors, and as it?s not that...

    Angel Recurve Sights

    This morning I was in perris archery, in Chelmsford and spotted this beauty of a sight. After talking to Steve I?m sold and will be getting one hopefully for xmass (if I can talk my wife into it). It kinda looks like a old school Olympic sight from the 80s that one of my fellow club members...

    Quick disconnects

    I finally got my proper recurve kit yesterday, from clickers archery, but as I am planning to useing a extender behind my v bar to push the weight out a bit, can I use a quick disconnect between the extender and the riser? This way I would have less issues v bar alignment. Or should I just use...

    Sense of achievement

    As some of you know I recently switched to freestyle recurve from compound and have made a few observations in the past 5 weeks. The main one being that I get a much higher sense of achievement from things such as my first all gold end, my first 60 point end etc or raising my personal best...

    Making the switch to recurve from compound

    As some of you on here know, due to injury I'm forced to switch to a different discipline away from compound bows to something with less weight in the bow hand. I was going to go for trad but after trying a few things I have decided to switch to freestyle/Olympic recurve. I have selected the SF...

    Modern 70" recurve for field barebow?

    I have been thinking, as much as I enjoy shooting traditional bows they have there draw backs (pun intended). Most traditional recurve are short, stack like hell and have limited options for customisation. So I have been looking at bows that are normally shot by target archers with all the bells...

    I all most pooped myself....accidental dry fire

    I can't believe I did this, shooting away happily, chatting to my wife and my dad and POW! Dry fire at full draw as I forgot to load a dam arrow. Lucky my string stop on my TRG is adjustable in sort of a telescopic manner, which took the brunt of it and moved in away from the string upon...

    Getting bored outdoor

    This week I have found my self longing to get back inside and back on the 3 spots. Although I enjoy the fresh air I have decided that the typical style of outdoor archery is quite boring. With 3 spot shooting its more about precision and the only variable is me, and I have to heavily focus so...

    New toy in the works :)

    I had the privilege of trying quite a interesting little compound bow the other day, it's a little bow called the PSE MiniBurner, to be honest it looks like a kids bow due to the 28" ATA but it has a 30" draw available. After shooting it I was very impressed by how nice it was to shoot, a nice...
