    Stabiliser set up for a teen.

    My old goto recommendation was always the Win and Win HMC setup. Its still available and really solid stuff, but maybe outside your budget. The Gillo GS6 is really good value too, but a garish gold might not suit the bow :D The length of side rods you want is intrinsically linked to the length...

    Wiawis One Wood long 40lbs

    Will add some photos tomorrow. Bought second hand with a complete bow, but have to admit these are probably too heavy for me given past injuries. At 30" They measured up at 46lbs on the fingers (compared to 38lbs on the fingers for some marked at 34) However, they feel absolutely fantastic...

    Anyone used any of these uncommon recurve limbs?

    Unfortunately I haven't got a bow scale to hand. I've got a set and whilst they're probably in the 2-3lbs per inch range I'd say they feel pretty similar to the rest of the W&W range (both inno and winex limbs). Tidy limbs for the price, but definitely the typical "stiffish" W&W feel. Would love...

    Help needed for selecting arrows for lightweight bow for a 9yr old

    I went for a WNS Explore 21" with Core limbs when my daughter was 10. Seemed very tidy for the price. Then got some very skinny XX75s (I think 1516, but felt getting a bit stiff at this stage wouldn't make a huge difference)

    Draw arm shoulder proble.

    Just came back into archery after ten years off. Daughter wanted to start and got fed up of me coaching/lingering so got some 2nd hand kit to shoot. Unfortunately almost immediately managed to hurt drawing shoulder. It's only mild. Haven't had it looked at yet, but I suspect that much time our...

    Donations Versus Subscription.

    Saw the same done on a rugby forum and it failed. Most didn't sign up and they ended up with the income stream not being much more than donations. I run a forum at a similar scale to AIUK (probably with many more Xenforo add-ons) and I just ask for the odd donations. I don't run ads because I...

    Dress Regulations - Club Trousers

    If you have a registered uniform, say blue tops and black trousers. Can you wear your club top with white/green trousers at a shoot? I cant see anything specific in the rules, but the shooting register does state that green and white are still acceptable for clubs who have registered kit. Can...

    Danger Signs - Fact or Myth?

    Now we dont have danger written on our safety signs, but today I heard the story about Danger signs making you more liable. The argument going Danger is an admission that what you are doing is dangerous. Does someone on here know one way of the other if this is true? If someone gets shot...

    Promoting Archery - How?

    I feel this is a relavant question given the recent rebranding etc. So what do you think can be done to promote our sport? What can we do to attract more young people into archery and to raise the profile of archery as a serious sport. It doesnt just have to be ideas that need doing by those...

    Who has a good county website?

    I'm considering creating and maintaining a website for a county association. Who thinks that their county has a good website which they use and why? What features do you think would be most useful? My current thought are: It has to be aimed at two different groups from the start. Beginners...

    Advice appreciated

    Right then, I'm not a very good archer - thats a given. But I've really struggled to get back on form after spending the summer injured. I dont have any coaches to hand, so if any of the more experienced guys around could give me some feedback from these vids it would be greatly appreciated...

    Ok I've been having a bit of trouble getting the nock point to connect around the string, this is my best effort so far: Nock Point How can i get it on nice and tight as I serve it on? Maybe i just need to get another person to help hold down tight whilst i tie. (I've already read the beiter...

    Serving/String twists

    Hi there, I keep reading things about strings having to be twisted in different directions for right/left handed archers and/or the serving twisted in the same direction as the string. I was wondering if someone could clarify for me, does it depend on handedness or do they just have to be the...
