    Archery and arthritis. Battling on.

    I have arthritis. Lots of it. All bog standard osteo- I've just worn out cartilage all over the place and it definitely affects my archery. I have had two half knee replacements (Oxford implants) which are now 6 and 4 years old respectively and work wonderfully well. My neck is a bit iffy...

    Nikon Fieldscope EDG 85 A with FEP35W and FEP50W and branded cover

    I guess this is a tool... I bought this angled scope with one objective and the branded cover from LCE and upgraded to a second objective to go to the WMG Japan in 2021. This was of course cancelled to make way for the Olympics. *Sigh* I am now heading for Uni and am selling a lot of things...

    Selling on AIUK

    A little reminder: Selling archery gear on AIUK is great. It's a transaction between two private individuals and the site takes no responsibility for the deal. Always best to conduct discussions out in public, just in case, as there are scammers about. Although I'm pretty sure it's nowhere near...

    Interesting vid if you are considering a new riser, or are kitting out kids.

    It's from Jake Kaminski, who is not my thing but does a lot of good reviews. It's a long one, but worth a look if you are curious obout these cheapo fakes that are direct clones of well established brands, or looking to save money on kit.

    Automatic Bow Stand

    I've lost/misplaced my bowstand. It's unique as far as I know, because it's one of the first automatic bow stands to get to the UK. I imported it, and it has, for reasons unknown got "Legolas" written on the vertical part. The body is silver, and the feet and cup are black. It's the short...

    Skylon Preminens points

    I have a set of Preminens I'm building up. I bought the stainless steel option for points and they are mahoosive! So I've tried a few other options. My X10 tungstens are a bit too fat. I have some Carbon Express tool steel points that are .01mm narrower in the shank than the Skylon points. The...

    Gabriel X-Button

    I bought myself a new button. The Gabriel X-Button. Service and communication was great. It still cost £88. But that's in the ballpark to a Beiter, which I'm used to using so that's ok. It arrived yesterday in a snazzy green colour. Lovely. Unfortunately it doesn't fit through my Shibuya rest...

    Arrow Saw cable and controller

    I have an lovely Aco Archery arrow saw (identical to the Decut). I've used it lots. Today, I'd just some to the end of the quick job I was doing, just about to take my foot off the controller and I notice smoke coming from the cable just at the plug into the motor. Burned a hole through the...

    What did Santa bring?

    I didn't get any archery goodies this Christmas (I was getting a new partial knee replacement instead - just as welcome), so Santa must have struggled down a few of your chimneys with some goodies! It's show and tell time!

    Arthritis and thumbs

    Anyone with arthritic bow hand thumbs found a comfortable solution? I have basal joint arthritis (amongst others) and it's affecting hand placement. At the end of a day's shooting, lordy it's sore! I have a nice squishy but firm Jager grip, so it's better than an all- wood or plastic one, don't...
