Looking for some assistance with balancing and placement of weight on my 3ish month old Gillo GF riser. I recently purchased the “tunnels” weight system (the 7x 50g black and blue discs you can see on the lower part of the riser) and am playing around with them. The larger black weight is 500g. I am wondering how I should try to balance this. Should I try to get it perfectly vertical or is this tilt ok? Is that even a thing? My local shop, while wildly awesome, is a lot heavier on the compound knowledge, so most of what I’ve learned with set up is through trial and error. I am not commit ..read more

Hey all, Might be a stupid question, i know that many of the fantasy/video game bow designs would shake horribly, would be impossible to aim, or even break from the release of power due to their weird shapes and over the top decorations, but id like to know if there are any options that are looking close to something out of a game, but are also functional. After a long time i may finally have the time to get into archery which is something that i always loved in movies/games, and i would love it if the bow that i buy would also work well for the nerdy&geek stuff that id also use it fo ..read more

I was just watching Shadiversity video on "The medieval bow time forgot". He makes a lot of good points about how short recurve bows were used in medieval Europe. So now I understand the differences between long and short bows and D-curve and recurve and how short recurve bows are not horse bows. But, what makes the difference between a medieval recurve and an Asiatic recurve bow? I do mounted archery and all my trainers and friends say they shoot Mongolian, or Turkish-style recurve bows, and I have what I am under the understanding is a, Asiatic Mongolian-style short recurve/ static recurve ..read more

I hawe a bow of 20Lbs but the only arrows I can find is for 35Lbs and up. Is it okay to shoot a heavy arrow with a lighter draw weight bow? submitted by /u/Grmry_0 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

About to upgrade to a Mathews Lift. The idea of it is for hunting and 3D shoots (hopefully a TAC event next year). I currently have a 5 pin fixed on pic sight on my current bow, and I want a slider so I can reach out further than a fixed will allow. Anyways, my question is what is a recommended sight. 3 pin slider that will fit into the bridgelock system. I’ve looked at the Redline RL-2 but my local bow shop fellers aren’t big fans of redline. I’m also looking at the HHA Tetra RYZ, but the price makes me standoffish. Price wise I’d like to stay closer to $200. I know the HHA is closer to $400 ..read more

Just a heads up. I have recently noticed a web based supplier called "Compound Bows Shop" aka compoundbowsus dot com appearing highly in search engine results when searching for certain models of bow etc. They appear to be offering for sale archery equipment at impossibly low prices. For example, how does a new Mathews TRX38-G2 for £99 sound? Too good to be true I'd say... That bow new sells for 13-14x that price. There's also a lack of information about any physical location where they are based, no VAT/tax identification and so on. There could be other sites like this so all I would say is ..read more

Hi, so i've been doing archery for a while since 2018 and have been using the Win & Win AXT since i bought it second hand when i first started. No issues with the riser and have enjoyed shooting with it but am looking to treat myself to an upgrade soon. The real question im wanting to ask is having a look around im either planning to buy the ATF-DX/MetaDx/Hoyt(ILF version) but seing as the ATF-DX was released about a year ago and the MetaDx in 2021 i was wondering whether we would be expecting a new riser soon (this year) and wait to buy it or would it be better just to go ahead and buy o ..read more
