    KG Falcon - thoughts?

    Sounds good, and will only get better the more familiar you get and with a bit of fettling you'll get it shooting how you want it. Not sure I'll get the chance to go over there before Christmas, but I might just put an order in anyway and at least dash over and pick it up, so I'll have something...

    KG Falcon - thoughts?

    Excellent thanks for that Graham - glad you are getting on with it well and it's living up to expectation. A big part of me is considering sticking with the Osprey as it really offers something different to the recurve, which is what I was originally after, and it strikes me that it's going to...

    KG Falcon - thoughts?

    ...so it‘s somewhere between zero and all of the hand shock. Gotcha. Seems to be a love/hate (or maybe love/meh) kind of bow - which i suppose any bow will be and highlights the need for a considered evaluation. Looks like there’s only one person who’s gonna make that decision for me...

    KG Falcon - thoughts?

    thanks, it’s important to get opinions on both sides and highlights the need to try before buying a bow. I’m still half thinking I’d have lower expectations from an osprey (with maybe wooden arrows too) as it would be more different to my Mohawk, which is such a sweet shooting bow. It would be...

    KG Falcon - thoughts?

    Hi Graham, no I'm talking about Eagle Archery in Washington - I'll pm you a couple of links. Definitely worth a look, I've been curious for a while too so it was great to get a go of one. You can shoot up to 20 yards in the shop.

    KG Falcon - thoughts?

    I've admired KG from afar (a five hour round trip) for ages, but now that my local shop have started selling them (a 20 minute drive away), it's made it easier to step up the interest and I'd prefer to keep it local in case things go wrong. Hopefully they can get a Falcon in for me to try at...

    KG Falcon - thoughts?

    Thanks for taking the time to reply 4d4m - I was beginning to think I've been imagining things lol. It's great to hear how it behaves in the real world and I'm glad you're enjoying it, long draw and all. Mine is only 30.5" so if it isn't stacking for you, it isn't stacking for me :) The Osprey I...

    KG Falcon - thoughts?

    Does anyone have any photos and opinions to share about the KG Falcon? I had a shoot of the Osprey today and it was great, but now I've seen the Falcon on KG's website and I'm even more tempted! I love the looks, I have a long draw and would love something a bit different for 3D, without...

    Trad. recurve nock point height?

    I shoot a Bodnik Mohawk traditional recurve (37.5# @ 30.5") split finger with a glove - and I'm trying to set up some new arrows... I've been using Easton power flight 400s, with 125gr points and 5" feathers (that I was previously using at 45# on hybrid limbs, same bow, with 80gr points in)...

    [American Flatbow] trad recurve poundage dilemma

    I've recently taken to 3d shooting, and so far have very much enjoyed taking the extra bits off my CXT target setup and using that, but what I really want to do is get a one piece recurve to get a bit further away from the target world I shoot in most of the time. I've noticed that since I'm...

    Archery Rediscovered!

    I normally shoot Olympic recurve and have had a tricky year after a forced change from left to right handed - as such I'm always up for a bit of distraction from what I'm suppose to be doing! When a friend mentioned they were going for an nfas assessment at a local 3d course this week, I asked...

    Struggling with barebow and well, everything...

    I've been shooting left handed recurve of two years, with sights and stabilisers, clicker etc... and average high 560s for a portsmouth - pb 572 and BM scores outdoors. In January I got the index finger of my draw hand caught in a kids swing chain link while pushing my son. It was a swing that...

    Jager Grips order acknowledgement

    Hi, has anyone in the UK had direct dealings with Jager Archery Products ? I ordered a grip a week ago on their website, and it seemed to go okay and I paid with Paypal and the money has left my bank account. Since then I haven't received any confirmation of my order, despite sending an email...

    BareBowBook - is there one ?

    Is anyone aware of a decent book on the subject of bare bow shooting? I'm going to give it a go as a change from olympic recurve, and I like a good read when I'm not actually shooting. Maybe I just need to make it up as I go and feel the freedom of no-sight shooting... maybe I should close my...

    weak draw hand fingers

    Hi, I'm shooting a recurve at the same 40lbs I've been shooting for a year, indoors and out, and with the same finger tab that I love, but I've recently developed a problem I've not had before and I thought it might be worth getting some opinions as I'm not sure how to proceed to try and fix it...

    First ever Bowman score!

    Having problems with my back and achilles tendons at the mo so I've not entered any competitions for the foreseeable future. Instead I've decided to go for my next classification so I've started shooting 100 yards for the last couple of weeks. Hot on the heels of finally getting my 80 yards 252...

    Number your arrows!

    I've been trying for a while to get my 252 badge at 80 yards, and I've usually been scoring in the 220-230s with a best of 244 so all a bit inconsistent. I did my first competition a few weeks ago and so I had to number my arrows, and since then I've noticed that certain numbers were always...

    Sight mark range

    Hi all, I'm trying to get some sight marks so I can shoot a 1440. I wonder what other people do with their sights and how they cope with such a wide range of distances. I have found that no single vertical sight bar position will give me the range I need - If I have it set lower to give me a...

    Scope zoom range for shooting outdoors

    As I very much look forward to shooting outdoors again and begin the inevitable fantasy shopping for outdoorsy things like folding chairs, sun hats and thermal mugs, my thoughts have also turned to scopes, not having previously owned one. I'm quite happy finding a budget and doing some research...
