  You twisted the fur silencer opposite to the direction of the twist in the string. You should match the twist so that as you twist the string, the fur puff gets tighter and forms a cleaner ball. Same applies to my favourite, the ew bateman campuff

  Is it possible to install the rug rest in such a way that you can leave open the option of screwing on an elevated rest at a later point, or do the two interfere with one another? I'm new to shooting so I'm not quite sure what I prefer at this point, and I noticed you're partially covering the mounting point for the elevated rest with the side plate.

• 
  @3RiversArchery24 күн бұрын

  I suppose you could punch a hole out of the side plate before installing. Though most folks just peel off the side plate and discard when they want to try an elevated rest. Rest and plate material is pretty inexpensive, so very easy to replace. Could buy a second side plate when you buy your elevated rest just to have it on hand if needed.

  Thank you! I loved the clear and concise presentation. As a beginner, I didn't know what people meant by "pounds". I didn't know if it referred to the weight of the bow itself or the force of draw put on the string.

  I am curious about the depth of my bow. How do I know if my bowstring should be wound tighter or loosened? Because I always figured the more shallow your bow is the less tension and therefore the less power. But, I also realize that on the other hand if your bow was more shallow you would have a longer draw and therefore the string would have more travel to put energy into the arrow. Im sure it is a balancing act just as the size of the bow itself is, but I simply do not have the expertise. Any thoughts?

• 
  @3RiversArchery29 күн бұрын

  I believe you are referring to brace height (measurement from the string to the belly of the bow). This can have an impact on arrow spine needed, accuracy, shootability, etc. Each bow will have a recommended amount. Normally a bit higher, say 7.5 to 8 inches and up for recurves and takedown bows. With a 1-piece longbow liking more 7 to 7.5". These are general numbers, your bow manufacturer should be able to tell you better for your bow.

  im curious about the padded strips that go on the bow tips under the string. Are those useful or necessary? Do they do the same thing as the styles Shown here? TIA

• 
  @3RiversArcheryАй бұрын

  Those work as limb dampeners and will help with noise as well. They also provide some cushion if you hang your bow by the string on a peg vertically. Some are bulkier and help prevent brush from getting caught between the bow string and limb (they are called brush buttons). So they are not necessary, but they do provide a bit. For noise reduction, a string mounted silencer does more.

  On Archery Talk people have said you can straighten aluminum core arrows.I am wondering though if warming the carbon up a tad would help too.Not heat so much as just warm the carbon so it does not damage the structure.

• 
  @3RiversArcheryАй бұрын

  Do not apply heat to carbon. Carbon is not able to be straightened. I've always told folks, "carbon is nice as it is either straight, or it's broke. It doesn't have a third direction." Applying any level of heat to the carbon will weaken it, and lead it to breaking.

• 
  @3RiversArcheryАй бұрын

  If just looking to target shoot, I'd suggest a 60" or 62" bow with 30# of pull. Light weight to be able to shoot for longer periods of time, but not too much weight where your form will suffer. As for what bow to go with, we have lots of options, but feel free to call us during the week and discuss with our techs and get you set up right.

• 
  @kennethkleespie2579Ай бұрын

  This is a slippery slope,basically because of the process that is always being proposed,starting light and working your way up. Sound but not practical,first it gets expensive limbs for a takedown are not cheap,age is another thing,male/ female is another your activity level is another. IMO the problem is the shooter is not using proper form when drawing the bow , you would be shocked on how much you can pull back with the proper technique. The average male between 25 and 40 years of age should be able to pull back a 50# bow with relative ease if at first they learned basic techniques. Bow length is another problem, to many people who move up in weight using a shorter bow experience finger pinch which makes it feel like it’s too much weight .

  I just shot my bow for the first time and its consistently high and right. It didnt come with a string, so i ordered a cheap endless loop one off amazon and i noticed that the center serving is way high of center. Might be good for an arrow rest, but completely off center for off the shelf shooting. Is that whats making me shoot high-right? In my mind the 2 inches of extra serving up high is making the lower limb faster than the upper and driving my arrows up.

• 
  @3RiversArcheryАй бұрын

  It may be best to give us a call to work through it. If you have no arrow rest, shooting off the bare shelf, that can damage your bow, but also makes for a hard surface that can impact arrow flight greatly. As for the center serving, be sure to check that the string is on properly, the upper loop is normally larger than the bottom. Strings normally have more serving on the lower part (to help protect the string from string slap). Your brace height and nock point height may also be reasons to your high-right hitting. The serving material placement though is too small to make an impact on the limbs performance though.

  We have all of our glue here: www.3riversarchery.com/buy/arrows/arrow-building/glues-tape It depends on what shafts you are fletching as for what works and does not. From there, it is a bit of personal preference. I've been using the Goat Tuff glue and accelerator a fair bit (as with the accelerator it goes so much faster). I am always fletching on an arrow wrap though.

  Once the nock is on, you have to keep track what is the bottom of the string right? Because if you take the string of and put it back on the wrong way the nock is in a diffrerent place?

•

  Correct, the string will have a top and bottom. The nock point sits higher on the serving section, so that helps make it easier to identify as well.

  I'm 19 and I'm looking for a bow my bonus dad could buy for my birthday. can do 8 pullups in one set, 25 pushups in one set and curl 10kg 10 reps in one set. I have been bow shooting in my backyard for half a year and the draw weight is 6kg based on my arm strength. what do you think is the decent draw weight for me?

• 
  @3RiversArchery2 ай бұрын

  Your draw length will impact the bow's draw weight, as for adult bows they are normally rated at a 28" draw, but will change 2 to 3 pounds per inch drawn either direction. Most bow weights for adult bows are 29 pounds at 28" starting out. Which is a fair bit heavier than what you have been shooting, but from what you described in your strength training, I'd suspect you could handle up to 40# of pull weight without much, if any, issue.

  The little spinner is junk. I tried off and on for years to make that thing work right. I'm serving right along, suddenly I notice it is getting closer to the direction it came from, overlapping the already served string. I have wasted too much time and serving because of that thing. It's built very well, but I have zero clue how it can start going backwards right in the middle of serving. After about 7 or 8 years, I decided to try it again. Same thing. That's too bad too. Because when it does work right, it works the best. I'm just tired of having to constantly goof with it. Mine will ultimately go into the trash, unless you have some idea that I didn't think of.

  Tillering question. Why is it when I'm tillering my wood bows the limbs bend just fine but as soon as I put an actual bow string on the bow the limbs bend funny and end up breaking? Frustrated bowyer!!!

• 
  @3RiversArchery2 ай бұрын

  Sounds like hinges in the limb. Use a tool like a tillering stick (www.3riversarchery.com/bow-building-tillering-stick.html) and a tillering string, to set the bow at gradually increasing draw lengths (don't go past the bow weight you want or the draw length you are aiming for), and step back from the bow to view at it from a side profile. Some folks will have a wall with grid pattern on it so they have a reference point to see how the limbs are bending in relation to each other. As you get the drawing further back, you should see the hinges showing in the limb(s) that you can then shave material off to correct. We do have a good selection of books and DVDs that cover selfbow building to help with the process. www.3riversarchery.com/buy/books-dvds/dvds/bow-building-dvds Plus, always free to give us a call or send an email.

  @@3RiversArchery I've watched a lot of videos of Clay Hayes making bows. I made a tillering tree stick out of a 4x4. I use a tillering string and the limbs look fine. I get the bow ready for a bow string and when I string the bow it looks funny. I pull on the string and one of the limbs breaks. String is 3 inches shorter than the bow nocks. I could be putting a hinge in the bow when I'm stringing it. Maybe the wood isn't dry enough? Strong until I bend it to string it?

  What's the difference between a longbow string and recurve string?

  Normally a recurve string has a larger upper loop compared to a longbow string. This allows for it to slide down the side of the wider limbs when the bow is unstrung.

  For the crimp on nock? It should fit flush so no edge sticks out, but I normally aim to the the crimped stop to be facing the archer. I have not tested too much though to say one way is better than another. If getting wear and tear on your glove/tab or scratching your face at anchor point, I'd suggest trying a different size crimp on nock to get it to be as seamless as you can.

The one small element that was missing (in my opinion) was tight closeups of the wood in the riser, and the reinforcement at the limb tips. Maybe next time?
