    Pin nocks and piles

    Quick question. Will the same piles and pins from a 570 ACE fit into a 520 ACE? Darren Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    "Primitive", "Asiatic" - or what?

    Since I am the one at the club wanting to initiate this, perhaps I had better make it clear as to what it is I wanted as it would seem that Furface wants to encompass everyone else not in a category already. I'm sorry if this upsets any of you " traditional " or " primitive " archers out there...

    Contact

    Hi all, Had a brain freeze last night. One of our new beginners is getting contact from a fletch on the shelf of his bow (recurve). I cannot for the life of me remember what to look for to stop this. I was thinking possibly nocking point, but it already seems a bit on the high side.

    A bit of light relief

    Going back a couple of American shoots, my boy won a gnome in the raffle. This was his eventual demise. YouTube - Gnome Killing

    Longbow Packing

    Now I've got the Magyar the longbow has to go. It is actually er... too long for me anyway and with my short draw I never got the best out of it. What do you pack them in to stop Postman Pat from doing his worst. The man at the Post Office said I need a long tube (no sh*t sherlock). How much...

    Wow

    My new horsebow (Magyar) arrived yesterday, which was well timed as it was club night. OMG. Not only does it look great, but shoots well too. I only have a short draw (25"), yet this bow feels so much more powerfull than it looks. 48# @ 28" is the rating on it. If I can get the hang of this...

    What happens when you cut an ACC

    Hi all. My knowledge of arrows and their behaviour would not cover a match box so forgive if this is too simplistic an approach. 29" ACC rated at T3 on the Easton chart. Am I being totally naieve in thinking that if it was cut down to 26" it would still be a T3 but rated for a higher...

    UK Centre for Coaching Excellence to open at Leeds Metropolitan

    This looks interesting, 1st item on Grand National Archery Society Ltd. I would imagine that they will have to create a shooting range somewhere on campus for this (or is it all theory). Its a shame the Uni doesn't actually have an archery club of its own. Good Sir Pete, I suggest you and...

    New Border Limbs

    I have just taken delivery of my new limbs. WOW! If a limb can be said to be stunning, then these are it. I've not had a play yet but I have some questions for both border and you fellow border limb owners, as practical experience does not always match theory. The limbs seem to have a lot...

    The American Gnome

    All those that went to the American may remember the gnomes that were raffle prizes. Well as promised here is the video of the demise of gnome no.1. It was Rhys (aka Big man) administering the pain. YouTube - Gnome Killing

    Dress regs....Please wait

    I don't want to start a repeat thread about dress regs, just an observation and a question. The boy and I are now in need of some regulation trousers and I have just looked at some photos of OB's where a Mr Godfrey has white track suit type bottoms with three blue/black stripes down them from...

    Tabs: Where do they fit

    Yes I know they fit on your fingers, but when holding the string should the gap be wide enough for just the arrow and hence sit over the knocking points, or should the tab material completely clear the knocking points? Is it the same rule for brass and serving/floss?

    V-bar and Stabilisers

    I really must look at what I'm buying. Just received an AGF adjustable v-bar and twins off ebay. Don't get me wrong they look used but for what I paid it was a fair price. Thing is, there is nothing to attach the damn thing to the riser. Can anyone tell me what it is I need and where I can...

    1st Comp

    Just done my first comp today at Keele Uni. It was not what I expected, (tho I don't know what I did expect). Everyone was really friendly and I had a great time, and I didn't come last although I did try. Best moment 10,9,8 :cheerful: Worst moment 2,2,miss :ashamed: Don't know what...

    Safe Overshoot Distance

    Have just signed up for the Frostbite and thought I'd better get some practice in outside and longer than 20Yds so as not to look like a complete berk. I am in a position where I can use the field where I work on a weekend (my club only has indoor facilities at this time of year). I am not...
