I‘m a newbie shooting olympic and barebow style for about one year, yesterday I shot without stabilizers and sight. I know it would be good to have a coach, but at the moment all shooting ranges are closed here in Germany.
I’m desperated and cueless... I shot for about two hours indoors with a fresh set of six re-wrapped and re-vaned chinese aluminium/carbon arrows about one year old. 5 of them broke during the session at random spots: 3 in the front third, 2 in the last quarter. The point of fractures are quite clean.
Hereis a video of the broken arrows: brokenarrows.mov
I really don‘t know what happened. The selfmade vinyl arrow wraps are badly scratched, vanes shaved off a lot, the wire of the arrow rest, was bent inside often and had to be bent back. One time the Beiter clicker cap flew off...
That all never happened before... must be something in my anchor, stance, shoulder position?
My bow is a Gillo GT29 with long Uukha VX+ 36lbs limbs, giving a 74“ bow.
