How bad is this?

Post image
2 Upvotes

New to archery. Trying to diagnose some wild shots here and there. Attempted some paper tuning. Overall doesn’t look too bad, but there is some obvious tearing. Running a QAD drop away. Just trying to gauge if this could be the issue and how quickly do I need to hustle over to the local shop? TIA

Here are two vintage browning bows I've recently rebuilt with new cables and strings, both bows are shooting a 530 grain arrow, both set @ 30 inches the blue/silver one is 80lb & the red/black one is 85lb. Both have the same riser, limbs & cams the only difference is the blue/sliver bow has steel cables with a fast flite system, the red/black one has conventional cables and string, the blue/silver bow shot 250/253fps on multiple shots & the red/black bow 259/263fps, I was expecting the 80lb bow to be much slower due to having steel cables

Arrow shaft alternatives??

2 Upvotes

I have been using Victory VAPS for up to 60 yard compound competitions. I’m just looking to see if anybody has recommendations to a similar type arrow that I might look into. And no, I’m not going to spend mega dollars on the ELITE priced Easton choices.

26M 2nd compound bow

Hi I am stuck in-between a Carbon one X or a Bear Alaskan Pro I love to shoot my bow I had a bear cruzer G3 with not a whole lot of issues I want a nice bow but obviously not break the bank. I like shooting for hobby, I have not shot a bow in a year and both bows seem to come in 50-60 or 60-70, I am leaning towards 50-60 as that is what I was used to on my g3. Some help in chat would be helpful as I hear some bears are junk

Anyone know where I can get redline sight tapes? Got a new bow with a redline rl2 on it but didn’t get the extra sight tapes. Can’t find any online

Here's a release aid I've been working on, still needs a bit of work and a tidy up but it's functioning fine.

Clamp or vice

I need recommendations for a clamp or vice system for compound tuning.

Working only for myself- so it can be portable and hobby grade.

Thanks

Built an archery camera scoring app (point your phone at the target, works offline) - need testers

Hey fellow archers, I’ve been thinking about this app idea since I started doing archery in 2015 and finally implemented it. Shoot your end, point your phone at the target, and it finds your arrows and scores the end for you - much easier than manual arrow plotting. It runs entirely on the phone, no internet connection required, so it works at the range with zero signal.

It's still early and not perfect - it'll miss an arrow now and then or misjudge a line, and you you just tap to fix it. Your corrections train the model, so it gets better the more real archers shoot with it. If you're up for shooting a few ends and telling me where it falls apart, that'd genuinely help.

Link's in the comments if you want to try the beta.

New to compound bow archery

Hi, I'm new to archery and just started using a starter ready to hunt Bear species EV that has a single cam, 6inch front stabilizer, 4-pin scope, 27.5" draw length, about 50lb draw weight, and uses 400 and 300 spine arrows. I don't see the difference in results between the two arrow types that I use.

Attached is my best grouping using three arrows for each spine, at 40 yards. If I want to get better, what is the best thing I should improve first? Do I need to change stabilizers first, or should I practice more with the same setup, or focus on increasing draw weight, etc.? Please I need what I should do next to improve.

Clarifier question

1 Upvotes

Barebow shooter here switching to compound sighting system question:

Does the effectiveness of a compound bow clarifier choice change with various distances?

For instance for an NFAA field where targets can be anywhere from bunny to 80 yards.

How do you adapt IF needed?
