    Monocular

    Shot a York at the weekend and found my monocular to be damaged. So I'm in the market for a new one. My last was a cheap one from that auction site. It was great while it lasted, ?7 for a few years is ok with me. So anybody have recommendations or what to look for.

    How do you choose?

    Hi all For those of you that compete. Do you attend the same comps every year? Do you only compete in a set amount? Do weekend comps make more sense to you? How do you decide which comps to shoot at? Any other factors. This is so I can get an idea how we can promote our competition. Cheers

    shooting off the shelf

    Hi all I have a takedown recurve which I shoot off the shelf. I string walk and feel height wise this is going well. What I would like to do is be able to aim at gold rather than off to the right. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to achieve this. Cheers Marc
