    Core Archery kit

    Bah, it's so frustrating when club novices go off and buy cheap kit, then you have to explain why it's a bit shit :oops: especially their first bow, their pride and joy. One of my novice club members recently bough a Core Gonex riser and Core Prestige limbs around Christmas and brought it to...

    Limb recommendations?

    Hi all. Been a while since I was in the market for new limbs, although these aren't for me :) Young lad looking for 24 or 26lb short limbs. Key is performance to push ACCs out to 50m, so speed, speed, speed then stability. He's currently shooting SF Elite which are OK, but I don't think the...

    Zero to MB in 9 months

    Well, as I said in my last post, I picked up the Compound in October and decided to give it some effort. Having completed a few shoots during the early summer in the most horrendous of conditions (mostly), I finally got 3 shoots where the wind wasn't blowing me sideways and achieved my Master...

    SKB Double Recurve Case

    SKB Double Recurve Case This case has been around the world with me, but is still in fantastic condition. It's the case of choice for GB archers as it's incredibly robust but still light enough to travel with (approx 27lbs). These cost around ?400 new, but it's seen a bit of travel, so...

    Long time no blog...

    Was it really May last year that I posted on here? Wow. A lot of water has flowed under lots of bridges in that time. I got selected for the Paralympic team, I went to London, I had an amazing time (Photos on flickr for those interested). I didn't shoot anywhere close to my potential, which was...

    UK Sport have an advert for a Programme Manager, yet AGB are not advertising this on their website... Very odd as the other jobs seem to appear on there. Anyone know if this is a replacement for Ceri Ann Davies, or is it another additional post?

    Judges rule interpretation - World Archery 7.1.1.5

    WA book 2 article 7.1.1.5 used to state whereas it now simply states Although the field layout diagram (confusingly) still shows a diagram showing a minimum 10 meter gender separation, but the targets at 90 and 70!!! (so not an Olympic round...) To my point - I interpret this to mean...

    Bcy 8190?

    Just got myself a couple of spools of 8190... Wondering if anyone else has tried it yet? (I'm not even sure if anyone in the uk is stocking it as I bought it direct fro Bob at BCY). Allegedly has less creep, is harder wearing and has a finer strand (24 strands = 18 strands 8125), resulting in a...

    Shooting in the wind...

    Sorry if these have been posted elsewhere, but too good to miss... Compound: YouTube - ‪Kanal von archerytv‬‏ Not a great advert for blades. Looks like Cilliers is shooting back tension too - never a good idea in the wind! Recurve (go to Ladies bronze/gold matches): YouTube - ‪Kanal von...
