    Hey guys, I walked into my local archery pro shop yesterday , which happens to have a huge variety of trad bows and gear as well, and bought a dozen PSE carbon Timber 400 arrows, which I had never heard or seen before. The box said that they were fletched with a 4 inch rw shield cut feathers...

    Do you see any advantage in the position of the pinkie in the string hand?? I never saw anything about this,I know about the thumb touching the pinkie, but I can't get a relaxed string hand with that position Thanks

    Made ya look I picked up some wood arrows from three rivers. I finally had some time to shoot several ends today. When I started I checked every arrow for good spin. Within 30 minutes groups were opening up. Three arrows literally became bent during the shooting session. Is this typical of...

    I am trying my hand at making my own arrow from scratch. I ran across a plank of very straight grain oak and have made about a 2 dozen shafts. the first 6 I made up just to see if they would fly straight and hold together. I didn't spend much time weighing these and I fletched them by hand...

    I recently saw an article at the KSL archery site here talking about the "new technique of raising the bow." I'd always thought it was long established, and actually was the more traditional method. I adopted "raising the bow" for myself two years ago by copying Brady Ellison's style, which the...

    I posted a thread concerning my disenchantment with the rotational "J" draw stating I by far preferred to make accommodations to draw my string hand straight back as I was losing BT with the rotational "J" draw...then someone I respect very much seemed to take it personal....then?...it was...

    So I figured out that I would have to shoot my longbow split finger with a high anchor to get the correct point-on for NFAA field. I was not able to get my favorite split finger tab to work with the high anchor; too much crowding on my face from the spacer. I went to an old Bateman split finger...

    As far as 3D goes (ignoring long range target and field for now), how anal are you guys on how straight your carbons are? You see them .001 .003 .006 etc, but does it really matter close up and finger shooting? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    GOOD DAY, Saw a Yumi and Longbow video compare and noticed that there is a point where the arrows start to fly straight. Question is... at what distance does a recurve arrow start to fly straight? I guess the draw weight and other factors contribute to this. We have a 62"x26#, and a 70"x44#...

    I know this topic comes up every once in a while, but I think it's an interesting one so I hope you'll forgive the repitition. When building arrows we have three basic fletching options, the straight, the off set or the helical fletch. The off set and the helical fletching options have a...

    Beginning traditional archer here having trouble with arrow flight. It seems as though my arrow is not flying straight when i shoot. rarely is my arrow sticking straight into the target when it hits. It seems to stick at an angle. What causes this? I dont feel like its an issue with the height...

    A topic for discussion, Many of the carbon arrow manufactures, sell arrows by how straight they are. For example, Gold Tip sells traditional carbon arrows that are either .006, .003, or .001 straight. And there is alot of difference in the cost for that "little bit" of difference. All these...
