LOL, the NFAS did it for you. It's called Compound Limited, my newly adopted style. Compound off fingers with a 5 pin sight and single stab, way less popular than "bowhunter" which is the same but no sight and only a 12" stab.My son is always the only compound unlimited archer so both wins and loses every time! I need to invent my own very unpopular category.
You absolutely must warm up mate - I’ve done my second Saturday session without the slightest twinge which I regard as miraculous even on baby kit (24# limbs).I forgot to warm up earlier; immediate rhomboid discomfort! So warmed up, all fine.
So definitely essential now!
Very well done Karl! Great achievement! I like your attitude and approach! Keep going!You absolutely must warm up mate - I’ve done my second Saturday session without the slightest twinge which I regard as miraculous even on baby kit (24# limbs).
Taken a bit of ribbing but now there are 4 of us warming up - I think it’s contagious - and hopefully more will join in as time goes on.
Throughout the week in doing the warmup before going into the warehouses too as well as doing a 10 minute skills and drills session before I leave the house. Not anticipating going anywhere near my longbow until next year but today I was grouping everything inside the red at 30yds and it’s giving me a lot of positivity.
Hadn‘t intended to shoot at a target face but a junior from the last 2020 beginners course has been struggling & not gelling with the beginners course coach. His dad asked if I could spend some time with him so in joined him at 30yds for the morning.

I’m back on my recurve - 25” Inno CXT riser, medium 24# @68” Hoyt wood core limbs, W&W 30” HMC long rod, Shibuya dual click sight, button and rest. Putting a very soft and ancient set of gold 1716’s through it so occasional flyers are to be expectedSounds good Karl! What bow is that. I’m hitting the boss every time at 18 yards (!) with the occasional yellow but not enough. A long way to go but definitely enjoying it.
Ahh okay; it was also a bare bow I’d be worried/impressed!I’m back on my recurve - 25” Inno CXT riser, medium 24# @68” Hoyt wood core limbs, W&W 30” HMC long rod, Shibuya dual click sight, button and rest.

Great; thank you! ‘Tis a dark art to me thus far!Sounds like just setting the brace height. There's nothing else to set on a flatbow apart from nock height. Your string may have stretched a little since new, you might need to put a few more twists in it. The manufacturer should have a recommended range, and it's worth experimenting a little within that range to find the one that gives least vibration and/or best arrow flight.

It’s far less nuanced. You get your kit, follow a very narrow set of rules and shoot. Fixed “wall” on the string, very precise draw point on the d-loop, a precise scope to peek through.Says a compounder!
Just joshing. Always seemed more like a dark art to me with your dozen kinds of weird release aids and impenetrable adjustments. Seems quite alien, set apart from all other styles. Even recurve is doing much the same as trad, just with more bits on the bow.It’s far less nuanced. You get your kit, follow a very narrow set of rules and shoot.

Traditional archery seems to require a less formulaic approach.
