    Finger pinching?

    When shooting my longbow I find the nock of the arrow strikes or catches on the underside of my index finger when i release. It doesnt feel like theres contact when drawing or at anchor. I'm using a W&W 360 leather tab with a finger space and no platform, and anchoring under my jaw like i do...

    cx900 limbs

    Cracked limbs What do you make of this? Hoyt 900cx 40lb long limbs. Theyve been shooting fine but on putting the bow together today i noticed what i thought was just a bit of hair on the limb - turned out to be a nasty looking crack. The scary thing is both limbs have near identical cracks...

    Walk back tuning

    I was reading through some articles today that somebody linked to in another thread and found a pdf on bow tuning. http://www.archery-engineering.co.za/archeryPDFFiles/bow_tuning_part_one.pdf In there are some diagrams explaining walk back tuning (pages 11 and 12), the results you may get and...

    ACE 120gn point length

    Anyone know or can measure how long the points are on the ACE 120gn break-offs? I notice they look a bit longer than the 100gn ones. Thanks

    Chest Clearance

    I occasionally get a bit of a slap on the chest from the string. I've always had a pretty deep chest but the fact that its not every single time suggests that it may be form/allignment related - or maybe I'm better alligned when it does contact, who knows? I'm trying out an open stance as I read...

    Novice status

    I've been looking at the tournament lists for the upcoming season, trying to plan which I can enter and noticed that some forms require you to enter whether you're a novice still. I started shooting last june/july time. Am I still a novice until 1 calender year is up, just for the first season...

    Sebastien Flute and Win&Win 360 finger tabs

    Hi I've been using a left-handed Win&Win 360 tab for shooting longbow with. This is it here ::Professionalism and Strength::. I dont use the patform, but other than that its one of the nicest tabs I've ever shot with. I'd love to get hold of a right handed version (I shoot recurve right-handed...

    Spigarelli Z/T arrow rest

    Whats the point of the two silver screws on the back? If you tighten them up it just stops the rest returning to its starting position after the shot, and loosening them makes no difference as long as the 2 on the magnet are tight. One of the silver ones fell out on me today. They just seem like...

    Sore chin

    Hi I had some coaching advice at the weekend, helping me to improve my form a bit. Got the bow arm and hand sorted nicely now, but one of the things i was told to change was my anchor and reference. I used to bring the string to the centre of my chin, and now I'm trying to get it to touch the...

    GNAS Clothing Regs

    I'm entered into the Wakefield Indoor Northern Counties competition on the 18th, its record status with all the rules etc applying. Now maybe I've imagined this, but did I read somewhere that t-shirts arent allowed? I've got a plain white one that I've worn to other tournaments but at those...

    Limbs still safe to use?

    Hi all Yesterday when packing my bow up, almost in the dark, I took the string off and the bottom limb just fell off. Its a Sebastian Flute with ILF and whats happened is that the screw that goes through the limb into the knobbly bit that slides into the riser has gone. It has often worked...

    Cavalier tabs and spare faces

    Hi all Does anyone know if an XL replacement cordovan face would fit on a L tab? Is it just the length that differs or do all the holes line up differently too? I'm using a large but the face feels ever so slightly short - surprising as I dont have big hands. Also, are the replacement faces as...

    xx75 arrow selection

    Hi Bought a new bow at the weekend - Hoyt Matrix, Seb Flute 36# limbs - and was supplied with 8 Easton xx75 Platinum Plus arrows, size 1916. I had a look at the Easton arrow selection chart here at as far as I can tell, it is suggesting i should have 2016's. I have a 29" draw length so pull...

    Got a new toy...

Wasnt planning on spending as much as the matrix but when i got to the shop it felt much better in my hand when drawing than the Eclipse and other one i looked at - plus the big discount on them at the...
