    Question About Target Material

    The local club I used to go to made their targets out of a certain material. I haven't been able to get a hold of them to ask them what they used. When they replaced the targets, they were pre-packaged in cardboard (1500x500x100mm?). But when they were all shot up, they felt like wood chips when...

    Carter Over-tightened Screw Won't Undo

    I was trying out the different springs in my Carter Target 4 when I accidently over-tightened the screw and I can't undo it with the hex key they provided because its just twisting the key. It kind of looks like a candy-cane. :( I'm going to Bunnings this afternoon to look for proper...

    Finally Finished - My Target Setup w/ Pics

    This is my target. It is situated 20m across a fire clearing on a slope (which is why it looks so high up). I built it with some help but painted it myself. The backstop/net is made of 3 layers of shade cloth. Behind that is about 350m of dense bush then a further 100m of cleared land with no...

    Question About Hoyt Bows

    First of all, what is the difference between the Hoyt Pro Comp Elite, Alpha Elite, Vantage Elite and the Contender? Other than the price and slightly different riser designs, I can't tell the difference between them. Also, what is the best value for money?

    Carter Carter Target 4 - Opinions?

    I tried out a Carter Only but had problems with it (mainly me) so I exchanged it for a Carter Target 4 that is being posted to me later in the week. Has anyone used it before? Opinions? Advice? :poulies:

    Material For a Back-Stop (Shade-cloth)

    So I have a target setup on my property. There is limitless bush behind the target but that is also the problem. I was going to use shade-cloth (the sails that people hang up so they have some shade to sit under) and have maybe 3 layers of it. Would this be a good material to use?

    Club Comp - Winner! :D

    I won 1st place last year on the 17th on November. I shot a 1060 for the Glenelg round. It was pretty exciting then because I only started shooting in July that same year.

    I Think This One Is A Winner.. :/

    I got some Easton Carbon Ones for my birthday. I went to the range and shot a few but then my BT release aid malfunctioned and sent an arrow into a piece of wood above the target. :o The arrow went too deep into the wood and after about 10 minutes of attempting to remove it, the arrow snapped...

    Anchor Point Troubles D:

    (I hope this is in the right section) Recently, I have gone from using a wrist release to a hand-held release. In doing so, this obviously changed my anchor point. For some reason my anchor point is behind my jaw, my knuckle in contact with the back of the jaw bone. I'm thinking that my string...

    + Home Made Finger Sling +

    After trying out a finger sling at the range, I went home that afternoon and made one out of a shoelace and twine. The next day, I went to my Grandparent's place to shoot. I was doing pretty well until the last arrow when my finger sling decided it was the most appropriate time to slip off. My...

    + Question About Upgrading To A Better Bow +

    I currently shoot a 2010 PSE Stinger NI specifically for target archery, but in a few years I might consider upgrading. What bow would be best to upgrade to next? Is it based on preference? Cheers. :D

    Always Have Spares!

    First up, I only had 6 arrows when I got a package deal with my bow. I was eventually Robbin Hood-ed in the X. So I went back to my local archery shop to get 3 more arrows made up, so I had 6 to shoot and 2 spares. When the next club shoot was on, in the first end, I managed to shoot a fletch...

    Close Your Eyes & Find Your Anchor-Point

    I don't think this qualifies but still.. Maybe 2 months back, I was having trouble trying to re-find my anchor point as I somehow managed to lose it.. >.< Anyway, I loaded another arrow, pulled up my bow, closed my eyes and came to full draw. I found a comfortable anchor point and then opened...

    +Sight Magnification Question+

    I am looking to buy a Titan Scope/Sight, but just to clarify I thought I should ask a question about the magnification. I am currently shooting a compound from 20-60 metres, would a 2x magnification/power be good for those distances? Also, it will be my first sight with an sort of...
