A few days ago I was mountain biking and bit off a bit more than I could chew on a big jump and ended up getting kicked over the bars. I sprained my wrist real bad (and busted up a bunch of other places). What is the best way to work back into exercise? Do I lower the volume? Wrap it up real...
Maybe something is wonky with my release but I was shooting bareshaft darts to 20 yards and grouping as good as I can at 30
Edit- it's off a weather rest if that makes a difference
2 more- I like shooting so when I'm scouting I'm stump shooting, love that.
And most importantly I never kill anything so I might as well not kill anything with a trad bow and at least feel cool.
Shot more today, new point on went from 31 yards to 28, (bummer). Arrow weight went up 510or so. Arrows flew good and grouped at 30 for me I still wasn't shooting great though so I didn't put on broadheads yet.
New question! I got a ton of arm slap today, would this be because of adding the...
Random follow up
I tried again with weedwacker string because I was thinking the rope was too tightly in the arrow making it act stiffer. I wasnt shooting great overall today (and didnt put a broadhead on yet) but it seemed to fly MUCH more consistently. When Im shooting better I will follow up...
Ah that's true, I'm at the lower end, I have the field point kit, I guess I will play around with how much I can get away with based on how much room I have to chop.
Alright, tried the rope insert thing. Arrows flew like complete dog crap. If I did everything exactly perfect I could sort of get them to group at 20. That did not stand with broadheads. I'll chalk this up to a lesson well learned.
On the flip side I do think want to bump up my weight some...
hmmm I am going to try this- curious how it will add weight/FOC but not affect flight?
all things equal I thought more weight forward would weaken the spine?
Correct-
Im still pretty new to the trad game but my 3 kills last year resulted in 2 clean passthroughs and one that held up but still gave me 2 holes. I know its light but I am only shooting whitetail right now.
I have some room to chop more off the arrow- should I shorten them and bump up...
I'm about to order more arrows. Current set up is black eagle vintage 400 cut to 28.5 with the regular inserts, 50 grain screw in and 100 grain heads. 45lb bow
Is there any benefit to skipping the inserts and going with heavier heads?
Also please don't crap on my set up, I have broadheads and...
Some of my stories include missing a big buck at 12 yards (didn't even know it was possible), missing a doe, missing a spike....you get it, you'll have a blast.
In all seriousness spend the time to learn its crazy how much better you can get with some good instruction. such a fun way to chase...
