    Making wooden arrows - advice and experience sought.

    Hi All, Compound archer here. I have a 58" one-piece traditional recurve (off the shelf) that I want to shoot for pleasure. Part of the plan involves making some wooden arrows (I don't really care about scores, it's more for light relief and 2D/3D playtime). I know there are various guides to...

    WA Rule Changes - timings and equipment failure

    Hi All, May be of interest to some competitive archers that WA has passed new bylaws on equipment failures and clarified the timing bylaw debated at congress. As always, I haven't seen these as widely publicised/discussed as I feel they should be. Whilst I cannot find a precise wording of the...

    Interesting proposals for changes at World Archery 2021 Congress

    I wonder if people have already seen this or not. I'm surprised I haven't seen it discussed many places yet. WA have published the motions and proposals for the 2021 WA Congress in Yankton in September: https://extranet.worldarchery.sport/documents/index.php?dir=789 Highlights include -...

    Blade rest - stiffer or weaker

    Hi All, Now that I have been allowed out to play again I have been shooting my nice new arrows at distance. However, I have started to notice that I am getting markings towards the nock end of the shaft - see photo though it's hard to get a good image. I am fairly certain that these are coming...

    Cheapsy Third Axis

    I've noticed after switching my stabiliser setup around and some technique changes I'm getting some left misses downhill, and right uphill. Guess I need to re-set my third axis. Normally I'd borrow the Hamskea 'Easy Third Axis' tool from my club's resident kit monkey, but since we still aren't...

    Reign Supreme strings and Bloodline Fibres

    I'm sure some of you will have seen Simon's latest developments at Reign; the Reign Supreme series. These are made with materials from Bloodline Fiber, 100% SK99 Dyneema. They claim to have a synthetic coating that removes the need for waxing and to have double the lifespan compared to existing...

    What do MB and GMB stand for/represent?

    Before anyone gets smart, yes I know it is (Grand) Master Bowman. I recently got around to read the latest edition of ArcheryUK, and saw that they are asking for feedback from AGB members on the classifications (page 58). One thing that struck me in particular was that there was a suggestion...

    Barebow Rose Awards!

    I haven't seen a thread about this yet (apologies if I missed it) but AGB recently announced (latest ArcheryUK pg. 58) that there will now be Rose Awards for barebow! Yes, awards for barebow themselves, not just the recurve ones! The announcement seemed quite discreet, however, and I know a...

    The physics of torque tuning!

    I recently read about the concept of torque tuning a compound (as popularised by Jesse Broadwater) and decided to try it myself. The results suggest I need to move my rest forwards (towards the target) because the arrows impact in the opposite way to where my stabiliser points. Sadly I can't...

    Records Claims for Long and Short Metrics as part of the WA1440

    Hi All, I am a records officer looking for clarifiction on Long and Short Metric claims. Having looked at the WA rulebook it would appear that the L/S Metric are AGB rounds, not WA. The AGB Rules (308 b, part v) say that "distance records can be claimed as part of the WA1440", but do not...

    Stabiliser setup for field (Compound)? - More balanced?

    I have been doing a bit of playing and research with stabiliser setups recently for compound target. I have come across the ideas relating to a balanced system vs a system biased to one side and the benefits of each one. I note that many archers for target choose a single side rod with varying...

    Cable Guard/Slide Causing Cam Lean/Limb Twist

    Hi All, I'm new to the whole compound thing so sorry if this is a silly question, I have done a fair bit of asking and googling to try and find an answer. I have been setting up a bow and put a new set of limbs and cables on (supervised by someone knowing how to operate a bowpress). The limbs...

    Wanted 65% let-off module for PSE Supra

    Hi All, I have a PSE Supra 2017 with the 75% let-off module installed. I am after the 65% module to fit if anyone has one or knows where I can order one? Also after a limb stop (less important). Thanks

    Other Let-off module for a PSE Supra?

    Hi All, I have a PSE Supra (2017) currently set at 75% let-off. However, I wish to change this to 65%. I believe that this involves changing a module that is attached to the side of the lower cam (rather than the cams themselves)(?). The problem is that I'm relatively new to this and not...

    PSE recurve grip (for an Intrepid) - Where can I get one?

    Hi All, I have my old PSE Intrepid that I'd like to start shooting again. However, my grip preferences have changed since I last shot it so I am wondering if it is still possible to get a grip to fit it that I can then modify with putty. I know Jager make ones that still fit, but that's a tad...

    Will an ergo grip fit on a HPX

    Hi Guys, I'm looking at customising a grip for my HPX. I dont want to experiment on my current (stock) grip in case it goes wrong, so was looking at buying a new one to customise. The Hoyt wooden grip I know fits the HPX, but the plastic ergo is significantly cheaper in terms of having a first...

    Question about Hoyt Formula Limbs and Geometry

    Hi All, New here so hope I'm doing this correctly... I have been shooting my HPX and 720 limbs for a number of years quite happily. However, recently I have undergone some coaching with significant changes to my form, and feel that it might help for me to drop down to a slightly lighter...
