Cate, Could you tell us a little more about your bow. First, is this a right hand or left hand bow model? I know you are shooting left handed. Is this a one...
Have you also checked your centershot? When viewed from behind, the point of an arrow on the string should appear to be sitting slightly to the right of the...
Those arrows do sound overspined for your bow. Try the 100gr tips on a couple arrows and see if that helps. The heavier tip will lower the dynamic spine. It...
Hello all, I tried looking through the history, but didn't see an answer to my question. From everything I've read, one should be able to aim the tip of the...
Even if your local jurisdiction does not consider a hand bow to be a fire arm, almost all consider a crossbow to be such, as they are capable of being carried...

greetings politics of any given person or group aside. think about it ... the bow was the " assault rifle" of its time , able to shoot much faster than the...

Hello All (I think I skimmed all the posts) ( I ramble on about a few things in the last week) Legal or Not: Always be careful, be aware. I will not advise...

Ave! We found that driving one or two pieces of #4, 4 foot rebar from the top of the hay bales into the ground kept the hay from falling over. Francois, ...

Measured to the center of the target. In our shorter (50 and 30m) we shoot at an 80cm face, with the option of a single face (10 ring) or individual faces (6...
Thanks for the replies! I will set it accordingly, with the knowledge that we don't have a specific height. A guideline, even if not from the SCA, helps. And...
It would seem to make sense to me to practice at a variety of heights. Targets can be at many different heights at an event (rabbit targets stood in the grass ...
