Got back into it with an American Archery bow that I inherited then ended up buying a hoyt magnatec. Had it re strung, set up n it's not to bad. I'm using (I'll pry get ripped for this) but I got I believe it's tiger archery 500gr arrows off Amazon a 12 pack for cheap since I'm just getting back into it. Felt like if I loose these it won't hurt as bad as buying one's from an archery shop!

Can someone please tell me what the bars are that stick out of the right and left side and front of the bow when it's not a compound bow. I have a compound bow familiar with that no problem but I don't have the other kind I don't know that your name but I just call it a flexible but anyways I wanted to know what does bars work for like are they stabilization bars for resting and aiming like or is it to Center your body in between them I don't know truly I'm not stupid or new to this I just never seen it before and now I see it a lot so I'm very curious and I'm looking to not have a compound bow anymore and go flexible but I need more understanding first
@tommygaspardo35799 күн бұрын
Counterweight I believe
@joshuadouglasarchery9 күн бұрын
Yes! Counterweight and balance to help hold your bow steady, it also can add perceived weight without adding a tons of physical weight due to the leverage of the weights you can add at the end of the bars, and a heavier object is harder to move so it helps you stay on target and be more steady!

Can't remember the exact model but my 1st bow was a bear archery compound. Maxed out at 50lbs draw. This was back in the mid 90's. I was around 14 at the time. Will be 42 the last day of this month and still shooting bear archery bow. Currently running the 2024 adapt plus. Got it in February and already shot the strings out. Stretched them so much it Max's out at 63.6# draw on a 70# bow. Luckily I'm getting new string and cables before season starts.

Nice video. Good practice drill. I love the sound of an Elite. I am shooting the Ethos. One small critique and a compliment. Your release is breaking nicely (compliment). Now the critique . You don't need that exergerated follow thru. When your shot breaks the natural follow thru stops about above your shoulder and you can see that in your shot sequence. For shooters that understand shooting a hinge it looks kinda silly because we know its exaggerated.

Because of the lay of the land at my home I don’t practice at past 60. If I were to miss the arrow would land on my neighbors property. So, I don’t get to do it until I’m on another range. But, at 60 yards I can pretty much know where the pin was at the shot. This gives me better feedback to help me work on my form, timing and execution. Something seldom discussed is developing a built-in shot timing no matter the distance ( within reason). My idea is if you can break a good shot within 2-3 seconds inside of a certain time it will help create consistent form. Not saying break the shot ar 2-3 seconds but break the about the same time like 6-7 seconds or 9-12 ( for longer hold people). Point being I believe if you change or lengthen time to the break at longer yardage your form, vision etc is breaking down very possibly?
