In years past whenever I got arrows for a bow the first thing I did was cut them 1" longer than my draw. I tried to make them work with std insert, points etc. I never was " really good" with a recurve but just ok and I eventually went to compounds. A few months ago my interest in recuve...

What are the reasons that it is considered easier to shoot a better 300 score at Vegas with a Barebow Compound vs. Barebow recurve?

So, as a preface to this question, I shoot traditional wood and fiberglass longbows in competition and I do everything I can to maximize my scores (not that my scores reflect that too much). So, I gap shoot rather than shooting instinctively, but the particular method of gap-shooting I use...

Anyone have any tips for getting bodkins (MA-3s) sharp without it taking an hour or so? Love the way these fly, but feel like I'm doing something wrong in my sharpening method: Stroke two blades (1A and 2B) at a time on a mill b*stard (just being polite) file, one stroke and turn to next two...
