    Arrows should not be used as pegs

    I don't know if this counts or not but it was pretty stupid. Couple weeks ago Neil (Neilsence) decided it would be a good idea to sharpen the pegs that hold the bosses in place. He then forgot to bring them to our next session so I used my spare set of platinums to anchor the bosses - bad idea...

    photographing shots

    I got given a new camera for my birthday along with an awesome tripod that can apparently grip onto anything (its weird and bendy) which made me think as well as just filming myself shoot and seeing my form it would be great if i could attach the camera to myself or the bow and get some footage...

    ok so as people may have noticed from my other thread I would like to buy new limbs. I know borders are supposed to be really good but truth be told I don't know a huge amount about the actual limbs. Could you please tell me a little bit about each of the different limbs. I know that they are...

    New bow - what to buy?

    I've been thinking about getting a new bow for some time and actually have a bit of money so I want to get an idea of whats out there. I currently shoot a winstar II with winstorm limbs. I have a maximum of ?600 to spend (so about ?300 on limbs and ?300 on the riser) but would obviously prefer...

We had some very nice researchers from Liverpool John Moores University come in and do some measurements looking at 'quiet eye' in preparation for the work they will be doing with the GB archery team.

    gripping the bow

    I'm sure this has been discussed may times before.... I have always been told to keep my bow hand relaxed and let the bow drop forward after the shot (I find this helps with the feedback from the shot). One of the archers in our club appears to grip his bow when he releases however he claims...

    New limbs?

    I'm thinking of buying new limbs and have for some time been looking at the winex limbs. However, because they are end of the line my local shop no longer stocks them and I'm finding it difficult to find a set online that are 66/32. I've been told pro accent limbs are basically the same as the...

    Why is it...

    If two archers score the same but one has more golds why is it that that archer gets ranked above the other. If two archers scored say 500 but one had 15 golds and the other 10 doesn't it show the archer with less golds is more consistently hitting near the centre with less bad shots. why is a...

    Broken pressure button?

    I've been having major equipment problems recently. Firstly my limbs have really poor alignment which seems to be causing my arrows to go way off to the right. I've had several session where the arrow fishtailed really badly. I noticed this morning that although my arrows weren't fishtailing my...

    Finger tabs

    Right after extensive work on my technique I discovered that I cannot reference well using a platform tab. This evening I put my thumb on top of the platform on my tab and shot better but found that the tab was quite loose and I can't adjust the platform. I have been looking at the cavelier tab...

    Fatboys?

    I noticed when I shot a portmouth the other day that my ACC's were not getting a lot of line cutters as they are very thin. Wondered if its worth investing in some fatboys for the indoor season. What do people think? do they make that big a difference or is it worth switching back to allys for...

    Arm Guard trouble

    Right I have to nominate our club Equipment officer. He recently bought a new full length armguard as he kept hitting his arm. We noticed that he was finding it increasing difficult to shoot as the session went on. So we asked him what was up and he said his arm guard wasn't right. When I looked...
