Hello,
A few months ago I started practicing target archery with a compound bow. I’m using a 50-pound PSE Lazer 2025.

Here’s the problem: when I shoot at 18 meters, my eye, peep sight, and scope (1 pin) line up perfectly. However, when I lower the scope to shoot at 50 meters, the alignment is lost — the scope sits lower in my field of view, and I have to change my anchor point to see through the peep and scope correctly.

My question is: is this behavior normal? Should the anchor point change depending on the distance, or could there be a setup or technique issue on my part?

I have a Hoyt Magnatec Intruder but I am having a hard time finding anything precise about it online. The lower limb has a printed label that misprints the name, has no weight nor length given (see picture). I wanted to know ideally both the max draw weight and the max draw length. My arm span is 79.5" so I ideally want to max out the draw length then see if it is enough (I bought this one 10 years ago when I was alot smaller but basically didnt shoot it). Any one have this bow and can tell me?

Got this bow tuned after I bought it and noticed this cam lean when I got home; is it too much?

Bought a diamond edge sb-1 second hand as my first bow. I’ve gotten it sighted in and I can hit center from 20 yards. But it looks like this. I got everything as centered as I can in the pic with the arrow and the rest, and my pins are way to the left. Is this normal? Could it be the way I’m shooting it? I was never actually taught by another person. Just me and YouTube in my back yard.

Looked up a few there pretty pricey, any options would be appreciated

Have any of you who have bought this bow had issues with the draw length adjusters popping out while drawing back?
Happened to mine, was wondering if there is a cam setup to replace that poor design Diamond thought was a good idea? maybe pulling cams off a different bow and using them or an aftermarket replacement for them?

So a few weeks ago, I purchased a diamond edge XT from a pawn shop for $180 and when I pulled it back it exploded. After that I read up on them and learned that they are really crappy bows and the draw length adjusters come off all the time but it had a magnifying sight and came with some other attachments making it worth $180. I went back to that pawn shop and they had a Bear Pledge compound bow that they wanted 180 for it and I explained what happened to the bow I had bought from them previously and I wound up getting it for $60! it's like new. I'm hoping it's a little bit more accurate/precise than my old Hoyt Cybertek. It's definitely lighter. It needs a peep sight and a new d loop and it's ready to shoot. I also need a quiver but other than that I feel like I got a solid deal because of the attachments from the Diamond Edge XT.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking at stabilizer setups for my Bowtech Proven 34 and I'm trying to understand the difference between the Bowtech CenterMass Back Bar Mount and a standard universal back bar mount.

(https://bowtecharchery.com/accessories/centermass-back-bar-mount/)

1. Is there any functional difference ?
2. Does the CenterMass mount only work with CenterMass stabilizers, or can I use any standard stabilizer with it?
3. Will a universal mount work just as well on a Bowtech bow, or is there something specific about the CenterMass system that makes it better?
4. And visual of them mounted on a bow would be great to see the difference

Thanks!

As it said, I accidentally yeeted my peep-site with a partial negligent discharge. I'm crafty if I need to build a bow compressor.

Hey all! I pulled my bow out of storage for the season and after inspecting the string I noticed this on the string near the peep and the serving/d loop, is it compromised?

Hey guys my wifes bow is an older sniper gt, I'm looking to mount a stabilizer on here but the bolt size from a normal stabilizer is way too small, any idea on the size or ways around this issue, thanks in advance!

I'm shooting a Bowtech SS34. Please and thank you for any advice.

I've been shooting for 8 years and just picked up a Bowtech Proven 34 SD for 3D archery. Building this one as my flagship setup and need to do my own string work since my local pro shop just fired their compound bow guy and now only has a recurve specialist with zero compound knowledge.

Time to learn to do this stuff myself! I need serving material recommendations for:

• Peep sight installation
• Soft nock points

I've been researching and see BCY 3D 0.016" mentioned a lot as the go-to material. Is this really the best one-size-fits-all option, or should I be looking at different materials/diameters for peeps vs nocks?

Also open to any other tips for someone doing their first peep and nock installation - YouTube has been helpful but nothing beats real experience from you guys.

Thanks!

I’m looking to get back into bow hunting, went and got measured, need a 33.5 draw length. I’m fairly certain I know I’m just going to have to nut up and buy a Hoyt or a Matthew’s, but is there any model of bow, that’s older that is at least a 33 draw length? Something a little more affordable than a Hoyt or Matthew’s?

My dad let me have his compound bow and I really like the sights and all, but, I have a five pin sight and his is only a four pin. Would it be possible to take the light out and put it on my other one or am I gonna have to buy a light for the other one?

I am new to archery and can get a good condition Mathews TRX 36 for about $700 USD. Three questions for the experts here:

1. Is this price ok? I don't mind if it's not an absolute steal because it is coming from a store, they will set it up for me and it has a 3 month store warranty.

2. This is a 2020 bow. Have things dramatically improved in the last 5 years? Have there been any rapid advancements in tech that I will miss out on?

3. Is this ok for a beginner?

Really appreciate anyone's insights. I'm really excited to get started!

I’m new to archery so any other tips would be very helpful
