problems

Hey everyone, new on here and new to traditional archery. I'm looking for some guidance here as I'm stumped trying to get my bow to tune with a new string. My resources are limited where I am, so I'm hoping some of you with more experience can help me problem solve. Thanks. My current set-up...

Hello all, I am fairly new to bow building and could use a few tips. I am building board bows from various materials , getting hold of good straight grain wood has turned out to be harder than I thought so I use whatever I can get hold of. My last attempt was a white oak backed with popular 70”...

hello, see the thread in SUGGESTIONS AND ISSUES titled "Cloud move". see my posts there regarding what my view looks like, with small black Xboxes instead of smilies and all the other related images. It was asked of me by admin if anyone else is having problems like I see? I dunno.....so am...

Hey guys, sorry if I'm in the wrong spot. I don't post much. Let me know if I'm not doing this right. I own several bows and have been shooting a lot the past few years. I recently took the ILF plunge and got myself a 19" riser and put medium carbon/wood limbs on it. I'm having more problems...

I'm sending admins a PM. Bill Carlsen on here is locked out, needs a pw reset sent to him in email...... his email is correct on the profile, I will include with the PM. Thanks

I had posted classified ads in the past a long time ago without a problem. Now when I post an ad I get a message that a Moderator has to review it and the ad never gets posted. Admin has been looking into it and can't see a problem so far. Is it something I can be doing wrong or is this a...

I cannot use a Formaster because of multiple shoulder problems . . . I am limited to low angle shoulder work. This works for me . . . Low angle on the shoulder/forearm plus a low angle on the bow arm : Asian fashion Form work . It is adjustable any wingspan . . . 🏹 John

Shoulder started to play up again Sat :cussing:, it's the very top part, put you hand on the spot, raise arm and rotate I can feel grinding on the top part (not inside the joint) I imagine it's muscle/tendons getting caught and releasing as the joint in moving around and feels like a sharp nerve...

Ok so I put my sf elite limbs on my hoyt dorado riser jut to try it out (pressed out bushings). They are medium limbs 36# and the dorado riser is 19" so I should have [email protected] I have shot every spine arrow I have through the bow both on a flipper rest with plunger and off the shelf and everything...

Gentlefolk..... I took my new 64"/28# Axiom rig out to relax and enjoy last the final sunset hours of the day but my first shot off this rig....(which was reasonably well tuned just last night)...left me drop jawed with the arrow striking nearly a foot too the left of where I aimed for....and...

I placed two orders with Aternate Services and my bank declined them both and I received an E-Mail from AS saying that was the case.....Since they have NO phone number I had to E-Mail them and its hard to get them to return a message......I called the bank and the bank said they would not send...

Hi all, got some question, because I can`t get what is going on...So I`m learning stringwalking and I was doing some shooting today trying to establish crawls...so after a while of shooting I realize that all my arrows are going to the right... subefotos 25 meters, and it is happening on...

I see lots of testimonials of shoulder injuries related to archery as well as other activities and accidents. Three years ago I tore my rotator and the two bicep tendons that connect to the shoulder bone 70 percent. Some bone trimming and two screws took care of it. I was shooting 60ish pounds...

So I ordered a greatree pride longbow 40 lb. from orange county archery, and the first one I ordered had a crack at the bottom of the handle towards the limbs and I think it was due to the glue they used not being strong enough and its a clean crack not a broken crack. So they ordered me another...

I shoot a Bear Grizzy 50# recurve with carbon express Maxima 250 arrows. The carbon express nocks are way to tight on my string. I have filed them down with mixed results. I just got Bohning 5/16 Traditional nocks. They fit the string nicely, but they only fit about 1/8" on end of the arrow...

Hey everyone I have a browning nomad stalker recurve (awesome little bow) but I'm having some problems with accuracy and I'm not sure why, I'm 6'8" and at 31" draw I pull it back quite a bit, but I'm using a consistent anchor point and form. And it to be clear I don't mean accuracy as in...

My shooting for the past two or three years has been fair, but nowhere near the level I once was, nor want to be. Today I spent most of the day dissecting my shot sequence, and evaluating the effect/results I was getting. I have suspected I had a grip problem for a long time now, but was just...

Hello tradtalk! Just had a question about helical fletching. If i'm shooting my samick sage off the shelf, would a helical fletching get in the way? If so, what could i do to stop it? Thanks, Tim

Hello fellow archers! Proud to say I have started shooting after a 20 year hiatus. But I've got a little problem. Shooting form ain't bad.... After all these years... But having trouble "tuning" the equipment. I am currently practicing in my, not very large, garage at about 7m. (Gotta...

About 2 months ago A friend turned me onto an unbelievable new workout plan for my shoulders. Please give this a try. Take two five pound potato bags, one in each hand and try to hold them straight out from your body for one minute. This might take a week to accomplish, depending on age and...
