    Dialing in draw length arial view

    How does my arm alignment look? This is 30” draw which I measure out at. Debating between 30 and 30.25”. They both feel good. It’s hard to tell. I’m sitting on a creeper seat so I’m guessing my posture isn’t the best but I tried to sit up straight.

    Fletching with the spine of the arrow

    This is something I’ve never worried about but I’m going to start doing it next time I fletch some up. I’m assuming when you do this you better know exactly how your cock feather is going to align before you start because don’t you want the arrows stiff side or spine mark at 12 o clock? This...

    Hoyt alpha X is awesome

    I got her set up today. The tech had to swap shims around on both cams to get a tune with my arrows without having to move my Hamskea closer to the riser which would decrease cable clearance even more. I brought my old 1/4” peep with me but I decided to bump down to a 3/16”. We set it up on 30”...

    Getting my new alpha x tomorrow

    It came in! Planning on being at the shop bright and early. I’m providing my Hamskea drop away, and my Black Gold Rush sight from one of my old decommissioned bows and I’m taking a few of my arrows. The tech said he would get it roughly tuned and then have me shoot it to get it finished. He said...

    Inconsistency day to day

    it doesn’t matter whether I’m using back tension or command. I am a pretty good shot. I’ve been placing well at local shoots this year. My trouble is I have a great release and follow through one day and the next I’m suffering from panic. The panic is not a regular thing but some days I can’t...

    Pulling through on an index

    I recently, after MANY year shooting, started refining my release and working on pulling though with back tension. I’d considered switching from an index to a thumb but was told, and also secretly knew, that the release wasn’t my issue. Anyways I’m making excellent progress rather fast. After a...

    Tangolio witness 9 mm polymer full size

    I bought one new in 2005 with an extra 16 round clip after the Clinton bill ended. I shot several hundred rounds of full metal jacket cheap ball ammo through it without a single failure and it’s actually pretty accurate. It’s been holstered upstairs and hasn’t been shot since 2006. I just don’t...

    Do nocks stretch or have a shelf life?

    Do nocks stretch as they get lots of shots through them? Tonight while re fletching 4 arrows three fit my bitz jig loosely or without resistance anyways. One fit snug. All nocks were the same but I think one was replaced recently when I damaged one so it is newer than the rest. None are damaged...

    Re fletching arrows

    I need to re fletch an arrow entirely. I ripped a vane off the wrap shooting groups tonight and tore the wrap. no biggie except I am out of vanes. I’ve thought about switching things up. On my last dozen shafts built for my new bow, I did four fletch for the first time using q2i fusion xll...

    How much does grain weight affect trajectory

    I’ve been shooting 340 spine 100 gr tipped arrows out of my 61-62 lb bow. They weigh 412 grains each. I use my Last Chance scale to weigh things. I just built up some 300 spine with 4 fletch and 125 grain tips. These arrows weigh 465 grains each. I decided to see how these new arrows shot out of...

    Organizing my tackle need help identifying nock sizes

    I have gold tip hunter XT arrows that I’m shooting with the factory .246 nocks that came with them. I’m getting a throat measurement of .115 with my micrometer. My string center serving measures .115 and they fit ideal. I have two different sets of gold tip .246 nocks that a friend gave me in...

    Any love for Wasp heads these days

    Years ago I had several friends who shot them but these days they are seldom talked about. American made but then again so are all the ones you hear mentioned constantly these days. Is Wasp still an awesome head?

    Hello folks new here

    Hello from SW Iowa. I own plenty of guns but I’ve always enjoyed the bow and arrow since I was a kid. I’ll be 53 this month so I’ve been shooting since the early 80s. I’m moving here from archerytalk. I’ve had a few accounts on that site the last 25 years but it sure isn’t what it used to be. I...
