    String String is a very important thing....

    After 3 years of shooting pretty much the same set up that I started with I'm starting to think on tinkering, so a bit of a newb question as this is still something I haven't played with. Some new arrows beckon in the near future as the Plat pluses could maybe upgraded now,but first off string...

    Arrows plat plus versus x7

    my draw length has increased to the point where I need to buy some new arrows. I still regard myself as an improving newb, tending to shoot 60yds max outdoors (still need to up the scores before pushing distance) and plymouth indoors. Shoot barebow so not looking to improve site marks versus...

    Bowhand - how to grip a bow?

    shooting barebow, I've been working on my bowhand / grip (or lack of). I find that the bow sits most nicely on the heel when I have my fingers relaxed - i.e. they are out almost straight rather then curled in a grip or fist shape. knuckles are still roughly at 45 degrees. (so I'm also playing...

    Nintendo DS Scoring Software

Given a DS has about 3-4hrs battery life, but a good sleep mode I reckon it could work quite well. It'd be a freeby nds image that could be used with...

    Who has a hairy face?

    Ok, then on a recent trip to the archery shop (sans my tab) :( I borrowed a gompy hairy tab and really liked the feel of the release. I've noted cavalier do a hairy tab, but what I'm interested in is how many people here use them? Any reason that using a hairy tab is bad? Will people stop...

    [English Longbow] Longbow - How soon after beginners?

    Ok finished my beginners course a few weeks ago, went through it shooting a recurve barebow, thoroughly enjoying it. Since being a child I've fancied trying longbow and it's my final goal. Sorry if the next bits appear like some random thoughts... If I buy a low end recurve (say a KAP winstar...
