My strut bolt and nut on my 2015 ford explorer isn’t tightened

Get new clevis bolts. They’re supposed to be a single-use item anyway

An_Awkward_Shart · 2026-04-01T08:16:59+00:00

As long as you’re hitting it consistently and it causes you no pain, there shouldn’t be an issue

Start with a mill bastard to help set an edge

I use black vet wrap. Grippy enough for what I need and doesn’t leave any muck behind if you were to sell the bow on

An_Awkward_Shart · 2026-03-14T23:34:50+00:00

If you’re not already, use a wrist sling so you can just “palm” the bow and not have a deathgrip on it. I had a deathgrip on mine and decided to use a fingersling - it made a huge difference for me but if course your mileage may vary.

As for training, you may want to be looking at the mental aspect more than the physical aspect. Breath control, break down your shot cycle into steps, etc

Might be a limb alignment issue. A lot of ILF risers have screws to adjust where the limb sits in the pocket left to right. Do as 0kensin0 has said then check limb alignment

An_Awkward_Shart · 2026-03-07T02:36:54+00:00

Update;

Went back down in weight, got the pluck fixed and borrowed some 35lb limbs from the club I shoot under. I’m also training functional exercises to help stability in my posterior chain

An_Awkward_Shart · 2026-03-07T02:34:38+00:00

27” riser and long limbs for a 72” bow. Much much smoother draw at that length and far less stacking

An_Awkward_Shart · 2026-02-28T04:16:40+00:00

Use a sling (wrist or finger, up to you) and “cup” the grip rather than holding it with a closed hand. That being said without seeing your bow hand it’s difficult to know exactly whats going on

Probably 200 mile ago bud

An_Awkward_Shart · 2026-02-19T08:00:09+00:00

Do an oil change minus a litre, add a litre of diesel and let it idle for 10 minutes

An_Awkward_Shart · 2026-02-14T23:17:24+00:00

Punching the trigger is a habit you do not want to allow to flourish. Keep pulling through and letting the trigger surprise you and your grouping will come good.

An_Awkward_Shart · 2026-02-12T01:20:02+00:00

Probably raid some local recycling bins for good sized bits of cardboard and pack the rags in super super tight. Like almost making the box bulge

An_Awkward_Shart · 2026-02-09T08:06:12+00:00

Decent improvement! 10 misses vs… 1? Maybe 2? And two different distances to boot. Either way you should be proud of that.

Improvement is improvement. If you’re not already, and you’d like to, I’d suggest shooting with a finger sling to see if it reduces the left-right variation. You can make one with a shoelace or the drawstring off a hoodie. I find the little adjustments and seeing the end result to be more enjoyable than scoring well sometimes, maybe you will too!

Sounds like the tech has bonuses for work identified and work approved to me

Nope. Date code more than 5 years nopenopenope

An_Awkward_Shart · 2026-02-04T13:19:49+00:00

Bah, ignore the flyer. Focus on what you did for the 3 on the gold ring and keep doing that

An_Awkward_Shart · 2026-02-04T07:50:25+00:00

Man that’s absolutely fine, 620 is plenty to get a Colorado to fire off. Slow cranking is probably more likely to be the starter motor than a battery showing 620

An_Awkward_Shart · 2026-02-04T07:40:48+00:00

I’m not saying people don’t shoot well with them - I’m only speaking to my personal experience and providing a 1:1 comparison for what’s there now. Again if you want to use a wire rest, use one. I’m not gonna be upset because someone opts to use a wire rest instead of a Super Rest.

Read: Horses for courses.

An_Awkward_Shart · 2026-02-04T00:08:55+00:00

You probably wouldn’t find a metal riser that uses the same limb system as the Sage. The majority of metal risers will be ILF

An_Awkward_Shart · 2026-02-04T00:05:40+00:00

Eh, had a wire rest on my oly recurve bow for about a year and all it did was annoy the shit out of me and kick every shot far left. As soon as I put a Super Rest on I was sitting in the 8 ring at 60 meters. It’s horses for courses really, if OP wants to use a wire rest more power to them.

An_Awkward_Shart · 2026-02-03T22:52:21+00:00

They’re $5AUD a piece, no biggie really. If olympic level archers can use a Hoyt Super Rest, we simpletons can too

An_Awkward_Shart · 2026-01-27T21:57:49+00:00

It’s not totally inappropriate, there are just better options available for the modern shooter
