    Liam Grimwood at Chiltern Archery

    I attended a coaching session with Liam this afternoon, and found it enormously helpful. The two areas I've been struggling on, namely consistent grip and draw, have been transformed with just a couple of quick pointers that I haven't been able to get from club/county coaches near me. Watching...

    Opticron Spotting Scopes - big thumbs up.

    For anyone in the market for a mid/upper end spotting scope, you should seriously consider something from Opticron. I recently bought one of their IS60 scopes, which got knocked over, landing pretty badly damaging the prisms inside. Opticron fixed the scope and returned it to me within 48 hrs...

    Tournament App

    I got thinking today how great it would be if someone with smartphone app creating skillz would make us all a nice tournament managing app, that could for example cover: 1. Tournament Finder List all known tournaments in the country/county/area. Ability to filter by Distance from home...

    Need help with my X10 ProTours please!

    Need some help from the wise people of AIUK please. I have some ProTour 420's that refuse to group anything like as nicely as my Nano Pro 400's. Compared to the Nanos, I get very vertical groups with the ProTours ( at least twice the vertical group size of the Nanos). The Nanos are shooting so...

    Some New iPhone/iPod Touch Apps

    Just been rummaging around on the app store and spotted some interesting new archery apps. Not installed any of these, but first impressions from their info pages would be: 1. myTarget ?2.99 Scoring app that seems heavy on analytics (good), but some odd quirks such as distances in ft (not yds...

    Fuse Carbon Blade Owners - need longer bolts?

    If you're tired of waiting for the official longer bolts to add more than 4 weights at the end, then try the guys at a2stainless.co.uk - they stock this which works a treat. I ordered a couple Friday, and they were with me Sat morning with standard post. Now got my blades set up just right...

    Been thinking about splashing out on a top level coaching sesh from one of our GB stars, or one of the US pros when they're in town, and spotted that you can book a 3hr session with Duncan Busby via one of the well established archery shops. Has anyone used the services of Mr Busby and if so...

    Sight Tape Software - Metres & Yards

    Hi - does anyone know of any software that can create a sight tape with marks for both yards & metres on the same strip? On the 4 programs I've checked out (OnTarget2, Archers Advantage, TAP, Accurate Sights) all I can see are options for one or other, but not combined. Cheers

    Archery - a 'risky' sport?

    So, for the last 2 or 3 years, my employer has allowed me to claim back my annual club fees as part of a 'get employees active and into sport' policy. I just got pulled up on my reimbursement claim for my 2011 fees, because they now classify Archery as 'risky' (quote: "as we don't allow fencing...

    Keeping Bow Shoulder Down

    I've recently switched from recurve to compound and have been learning the ropes from a level 2 coach (compounder) at my club. It seems I have a persistent problem with my bow shoulder popping up as I come through the peak of the draw. I've been trying everything my coach has suggested to try...

    Joomong LVT Stabilisers

    Flicking through the new Quicks catalogue, I happened upon the new Joomong LVT long and short rods, which seem to be very reasonably priced. I've had a joomong tab before, and it was every bit as good as its Soma Saker cousin. If its the same story between these and the CEX rods, then these...

    Help with Arten String Jig Please

    I just bought an Arten string jig from a nice chap on ebay. Made a couple of strings with it already, but the only thing I've struggled with is where best to tie off the string at the end of doing the main loops. With my club's Sherwood jig, you could loosen off the top of the vertical pegs and...

    Clicker - sending arrows left

    Hi all - have recently been troubled by my arrows going 6" left of where I'm aiming (am RH). Went through everything to determine the cause until I tried shooting without the clicker - and lo and behold, arrows would go straight (well, right actually, as I has everything set to overcompensate...

    Petron Pro Limb - Review Wanted

    Hi all - the Hoyt 900cx's I got in March have twisted already. I went back to Chiltern Archery, where I got them, and the staff there took a sensible an thorough approach in checking my set-up and technique, witnessing my arrows going 9" left no matter what I did. I then tried a new set of their...
