These are just the facts and I'd like to keep it this way. So please unless you have something valuable to add don't try and turn this into an argument or throw accusations around, or try to bury this post with unrelated pictures of your vacation. A good friend of mine who is a long time...

Shooting 50# @28 on a Black Hunter t/d longbow. Shooting 31" 500's with 125 up front. Having some tuning issues. Was wondering how much I should be shooting up front. Total weight of 403 grns. Getting back into trad archery again. Been gone awhile, bit I'm back. Maybe for good. Thanks for any...

I spoke with a gentleman in the A&H booth at Kalamazoo in february. I am interested in his bows and I love the ACS system. However he seemed very hesitant about recommending his bows for someone using a fixed crawl. Now that I have found this method of shooting I have zero interest in using any...

Hi all I recently made a warf bow with my old Darton SL 50 riser that I had been carting around for 30 years. I am a compound shooter and my knowledge of trad bows is very slim. I bought a set of samick sage 40lb limbs and after getting a friend to machine up a piece of nylon block to bring the...

Does anyone else own a left-handed (LH) W&W Black Wolf (RCX-17) riser? If so, is your lower limb pocket ok? With mine, the height of the insert for the dovetail doesn't align with the carbon frame left and right. Instead of building a consistent surface the limb could rest on, the insert sits...

I've started out trying barebow using my old Olympic stuff (a 68" bow drawn 29"). I'm having a bit of an issue which you guys may be able to figure out a solution to. I have a normal / desired nock fit on the string as for Olympic shooting, and this is fine for split finger. But if I try to...

Howdy, So I have scoured the web to find answers and have come up empty handed. I have found some posts that partially answered my question but never fully. So.... I have recently pieced together one of the sickest ILF rigs (pics to come) but it consist of 17" Hoyt Satori riser, Border Hex 7h...

My gap requires an offset to the right. I gap vertical like normal but lately I have to gap to the right about 5 inches. I can't figure out what is causing this and the only correction I have found is tilting my head. I am trying bow arm placement to the right but I am having trouble finding a...

I saw that the site was down for maintenance earlier. However, now I cannot access messages. Anyone else having an issue or has something changed at my end?

I've been learning to stringwalk for a couple of years now, I think, and it finally seems to have come together. But I really don't know why? A young bloke in our club has asked for help (actually his dad has). This lad has shot state and national records all through the junior divisions, but...

I am trying to bare shaft a 32" bare shaft for my ILF rig.2216 with insert and point weight combining to weigh 150 gr.They go thru paper at 18 feet tearing 3z" left .Fletched shafts punch a bullet hole and group well, the bare shaft hits right 8-12" at 20 yards..I am shooting a 23" Nexus riser...

I've been struggling a lot and for a long time with alignment, hitting to the left, nose whacking and blood all over and string blur stuff with my stringwalking bows but all problems are solved now. If I miss it's bad form and usually I know what went wrong in the very moment the arrows clears...

About 2 months ago my shooting went down the toilet, struggling to hold steady on aim, lost confidence in my shooting and everything was just hard work, 3 weeks ago at 20y on the 300 face I couldn't hit the spot (4's as best) and putting a couple of arrows low in the 2 zone. which is awful for a...

So this is my first year hunting with a recurve and I was fortunate to take a doe on each of my first two sits (doe only first two weeks in my area of NY). The two bows used were a Dalaa 50/28 and a vintage Bear Kodiak magnum 50/28. I draw about 29" so lets say 52lbs each. Both kill shots...
