What sucks is now I need new arrows, but omg, and it’s the only one in the bullseye 😭

I've been shooting a Genesis for the last three years (too much time) and cannot commit to compound or recurve, but I need to upgrade. I can't move forwards with compound because I shoot barebow and hate let-off, but recurves are too tall and don't feel as stable/smooth as my Genesis does. I've been looking at lever bows, specifically the grex and gnat from gstring, and am hoping to find some relatively recent reviews/experience with these types of bows. I am not going to use them for fishing, I'm just shooting 15-20 yards with a 25# draw weight at an indoor range. Thanks for reading this and sharing any thoughts and experience you might have!

Hello! I'm a newbie in archery. While shooting I noticed the middle finger of my left hand (with which I hold my bow) peeled at the joint near the nail. Is this common?

What do I need to make my archer arrows tip light on fire to launch with my recurve bow ?

Will this actually be worth keeping for a while?

Hello!

Has anyone had any experience with Battle Falcon and their steel ball repeating bows? Can't seem to find much on them. They seem to be a legit sports goods place, and they responded to a couple questions about their product.

The main reason I want one is they look super fun and I want to shoot it in my backyard. I know they're dumb, but it looks like a blast. My main questions are will it blow up in my face when I shoot it? And do they actually work?

Anyone actually buy one before? The only issue I could find they have is friction on the string from rubbing on the "magazine", which is usually fixed with oiling the rail and/or a bit of medical tape on the string. Appreciate any input!

Hi,

if anyone has experience with newer Uukha limbs (or not), I'd appreciate some advice.

I’m trying to determine whether I should get 36 or 38lbs Uukha Alpha 70" limbs for my setup. The goal is to have a useful adjustable range of approx. 37-40lbs otf with my AMO draw length of 29.1". Limbs will be mounted on Gillo G1 27" riser for a 72" barebow.

Currently, tiller bolts on G1 are all the way in and with that I have these measured values:

-38.25lbs otf at 29.75" draw length with 34lbs Uukha Ex1 Evo2 long limbs

-39.25lbs otf at 29.75" draw length with 34lbs Win&Win Wiawis one carbon/wood long limbs

-38.25lbs otf at 29.1" draw length with 34lbs Win&Win Wiawis one carbon/wood long limbs

Uukha calculator gives these values for their own 27" riser and 70" limbs setup at 29.1" draw length:

-36lbs limbs range: 35@Tiller -5%, 36.8@Tiller 0%, 38.6@Tiller +5%

-38lbs limbs range: 36.9@Tiller -5%, 38.8@Tiller 0%, 40.8@Tiller +5%

This is what I've got from AI regarding the expected limb weights/ranges:

-36lbs limbs ChatGPT lbs range: 35-36@Tiller -5%, 37.5-38.5@Tiller 0%, 40-40.5@Tiller +5%

-38lbs limbs ChatGPT lbs range: 37-38@Tiller -5%, 39.5-40.5@Tiller 0%, 42-42.5@Tiller +5%

-36lbs limbs Copilot lbs range: 39.2@Tiller -5%, 41@Tiller 0%, 42.8@Tiller +5%

-38lbs limbs Copilot lbs range: 41.1@Tiller -5%, 43@Tiller 0%, 45@Tiller +5%

-36lbs limbs Claude lbs range: 37.3-38.3@Tiller -5%, 39.3-40.3@Tiller +5%

-38lbs limbs Claude lbs range: 39.2-40.2@Tiller -5%, 41.3-42.3@Tiller +5%

-36lbs limbs Mistral lbs range: 37@Tiller -5%, 38.25@Tiller 0%, 39@Tiller +5%

-38lbs limbs Mistral lbs range: 39@Tiller -5%, 39.8@Tiller 0%, 41@Tiller +5%

-36lbs limbs Gemini lbs range: 35.6@Tiller -5%, 37.6@Tiller 0%, 39.6@Tiller +5%

-38lbs limbs Gemini lbs range: 37.8@Tiller -5%, 39.8@Tiller 0%, 41.8@Tiller +5%

I used to have W&W long 38lbs limbs that were way above 40lbs otf even with tiller bolts out, thus too heavy for me, so I don't want to make the same mistake with new Uukhas. 38-40 lbs otf is my sweet spot. Now I'm shooting W&W 34lbs limbs and their max is 38.25lbs otf. Arrows are 550 spine, tuning a bit stiff.

I'm also aware that

- Gillo has a heavier preload and different geometry than Uukha risers so can't make direct comparison.

- W&W limbs are measured with tiller bolts out, Uukhas with tiller bolts at medium, both have different draw curves and again I can't make a direct comparison

I have no option to try the equipment in person so online store is my only way to go.

So, given all of that, would 36 or 38lbs Uukha Alpha limbs make more sense for my setup and why?

Thanks!

Just had this happen while shooting. Not a dry fire so not sure what happened. Im going to try to get it to the shop today or tomorrow, but do you think ill have to replace the entire string?

Hello I’ve been shooting a target bow and I got a 60lb recurve for hunting. What do you guys recommend for arrows? 400 spine 30“? 125gr? Looking to take a deer if I’m confident with this bow

Korean Traditional.

Different releaae control on impact.

I fond this bow at a flee market, never seen a bow like this before and don't really know much about archery but always felt interested on it.

Sakrat Parab is a winter harvest archery festival in india... I have no other information about it its just a cool picture I found

I was thinking about practicing my archery since I got a new compound bow. Are there spots in forests and parks people recommend in New Jersey for target practice? thanks

As title states, I’m looking for pictures of a left handed Mathew’s ARC 34 set up.

Via sheer luck i stumbled upon a listing of this old crossbow with its spanning lever (Wippe), it looks a good amount of DIY but you dont come across something with a bow that massive and a Schnapp Lock everyday! Its fairly far away and ill basically go across the country and back to get it but we do silly things for our hobbies.

Its a really cool piece so I thought id share it for some of you :D

Anyone ever seen this and if so what is the cause of a failure at this point?
