    Transitioning to shooting off the shelf from elevated rest

    Set it to 5/8", no need to build up, it's possible you may need to build out if you had a good tune with the weather rest, all depends on what you use for rug and strike plate material

    Yeah I used to read it too, think it went away when the new website hit the net, had totally forgotten about it!

    Arrows

    Depends on what you're hitting when you crack them? If I could shoot a 31" arrow and I can't, it's too short, I would try the new ones from Victory that have the stainless steel mesh in them, they had similar before but it was extremely heavy gpi, these are still fairly heavy but manageable I...

    Hawk takedown and great northern side mount

    I have a strap on kickback on my Bear 76er, basically because that's the only quiver that will work on it. I much prefer my Selway Quick Disconnect slide on quivers in 6 arrow model on bows they work on. If you go GN make sure you get the deep hood model in you use or might use at a later date...

    Switching up practice routines

    I almost never shoot at actual stumps here in Colorado, especially not with broadheads!!! Mole hills, flower heads, weed stalks etc. Just pick something where your arrow isn't likely to bury under the debris on the forest floor. Sandy River banks are awesome!

    Yeah, don't think you want a whiffle ball then either

    Switching up practice routines

    I don't shoot groups just to shoot groups very often, pretty much when I do I'm tuning or checking my tune! I belong to a 3d club that has a full course set up year round and try to constantly change my shooting distance.

    4" vs 5" feathers

    Well put!

    4" vs 5" feathers

    In theory, the 4" should have less problem with crosswinds than 5" regardless of number of fletches. With the exception of when I'm repairing an arrow to match existing arrows I haven't used anything longer than 3" in a few years and I mostly use 2.5" high back shields that I have a chopper for...

    What’s the trad equivalent to the 100Y compound shot?

    Make it Hundred yards and make it big like a moose or buffalo! Sixty might be more realistic though

    uukha gobi vs Tradtech rc limbs

    https://www.archerytalk.com/threads/uukha-uureg-ilf-recurve-limbs-medium-45.6057278/ Just saw these, I almost never buy new

    uukha gobi vs Tradtech rc limbs

    I think the trade up would be well worth it if buying new! Nothing wrong with trad tech limbs but they aren't in same class as the uukhas.

    GROUSE!

    Recurve center shot

    The farther in it is, the stiffer the arrow you will need and vice versa, so you adjust it till the arrow flys straight, I would suggest moving it out till it's even with the string to start

    first traditional shots, So confused!

    Doesn't the satori come with an adjustable side plate? And if you are planning on hunting, especially from the ground, the simplicity and durability of shooting off the shelf, especially a shelf that is tuneable beats the tunability of a rest in my opinion. To me, the advantage of the elevated...

    first traditional shots, So confused!

    I think that's a fine choice for a first bow, now get some lessons, preferably before or upon receipt of the bow for two reasons, first it will keep you from developing bad habits that will creep back into your shot sequence from now til the day you take your last shot, second they will pay for...

    first traditional shots, So confused!

    I can't emphasize this enough, lightness in your hand isn't your friend when you're starting out!!!! Being able to change limbs economically and move up in weight and being able to tune to different shooting styles is your bestest of friend's!!!(that means buy an economical ILF) Pair that with...

    Plucking

    I just tuck my shoulder blade and relax my fingers every so slightly and inertia takes care of the rest. I don't have a good mantra
