    I came across these whilst perusing the /archery/ reddit page. I thought some of you may appreciate them.

    How not to do it!

    I present my least proud moment to date. It is one I've not shared with the community (or even my club, although with at least one club member on the boards that's going to happen). In my early days of archery (some point last year), I'd come into some money and decided that I could afford...

    Compound Bow Kinetic Trium X bow - thoughts?

    Apologies, I hope this is in the right area, I potentially looking for my first compound (3D) and just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Kinetic Trium X? It?s got seemingly ok reviews and is very approachable imfor the price. I'm intending on shooting it off the fingers in the...

    Shooting Gloves

    Archery Gloves Morning All. I come to the community for some advice. I shoot right hand recurve and currently use a Timber Creek Deluxe black glove. Having used tabs and the glove I can affirm that I prefer using it as it offers less faff when in the woods. However over the past few weeks...

    String Recurve strings (whats the difference)?

    To preface this: I was shooting indoors with the club a couple of weeks ago and one of the members strings failed (he was left with 2 or 3 strands holding the on for dear life at 3/4 draw). It was a nervous moment down the line but no one was hurt. I currently use an 18 strand String Flex Fast...

    Archers Tassel

    I'm apparently getting into this now. I love the traditional stuff but, like my bow, I like a modern twist. Following that theme, I present you with my Archers Tassel.

    Recurve stabiliser holes (well, screw...)

    Evening all! So this isn't about stabilisers as I shoot bare bow but more about the screw hole itself. Basically I've got a wrist strap coming and wanted to attach it to the bow (using what would be the long rod hole by the grip). I've put 1/2 inch screw (of the correct size) to the hole and...

    What's in your quiver?

    I was shooting Sunday with a group of more established club members, all of which compete on behalf of the club (I do not yet, but am soon to be sorting out my NFAS membership). On the shoot, i noticed each person had an assortment of different items on on their belt / quiver. I am just curious...

    Arrow lube and you

    On Sunday whilst having a morning shoot, us newbies noticed some of the 3D targets being replaced. Last night I went to the club (yes, even in that rain!) when shooting the first half of the course I happened upon a few of the new targets and discovered they were a harder foam (Mick, one of the...

    New (carbon) arrow issues.

    I write to you a troubled man? no seriously I can?t figure this out! So, I am a relatively new archer (doing it a few months). I have my own kit and normally shoot Aluminium Easton Blues (1969) but I decided to try some carbon arrows. So, I called up Merlin and after a discussion they suggested...

    Getting better

    I'm still a newbie at the sport but I thought I'd share my joys. I spent the morning at BowSports range just working on my varying distances (I'm currently under observation with my club to allow me to shoot our woods course). I've started getting more consistent and instinctive (if I could ever...
