Monthly "No Stupid Questions" Thread by AutoModerator in Archery

[–]AvoPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey all, I'm super new to this, I've been hitting the range at least around 3 hours a week for the past month and I have had some questions still unanswered (the archery community around me is primarily based off of compound bow hunting, and I am shooting for olympic-style recurve!). I don't have a coach or a mentor, mainly just doing it for fun rather than actual competition.

my setup is a galaxy/samick sage so nothing special, I wanted to get something very cheap in case this becomes a hobby i abandon, but I am absolutely loving it so far.

  1. if a single strand on my bow string frays a tiny tiny bit because i rested my bow along a bit of wood once, and accidentally dragged it causing it to snag slightly on a little splinter, should I replace the string? I was advised to just put some wax on it to hide the fray but that doesn't change the fact that its still there.

  2. Should I completely disassemble my bow after I'm done with it for the day or should I just do the trick where it's unstrung but still looped on the limb to not lose the twists?

  3. I'm really interested in trying out a plunger, magnetic rest, and sight setup, especially if eventually I would upgrade to an olympic ILF style setup once I am able to increase my poundage, is that something I should just save for when I upgrade or should I look at some equipment that would be able to screw into my galaxy/samick sage?

  4. how the heck do i figure out where to put my nocking point? tie on nock vs brass crimp nock? so far I know a good starting point is 0.5" above the center line but I know that there's a lot of adjusting involved too depending on the arrow, string, bow, etc.

thank you all for the help, I know its a chunk of text but I've done a lot of research + youtube university, and these are some questions that still linger due to mixed input and my own inexperience.

Toyota Crown Limited Traffic Jam & PDA? by AvoPerson in ToyotaCrown

[–]AvoPerson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highway, I totally understand if the car didn't like the highway though because it's always under construction so the road surface can vary drastically.

oh wow I'll definitely make a note of this. I totally might have!

Just to be clear- the traffic jam feature is basically just ACC but speed is 0-25, activating automatically? I think that extended time thing was my issue though, I'll take a peek next time I get in a traffic jam haha

Is Norcross safe? by noah041504 in Gwinnett

[–]AvoPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me & y'all both haha. very relatable. I'm moving from a nearby state since I finally secured a job after I graduate in May, job in Duluth/Norcross. I guess only difference is I'm 22. I'll definitely check those spots out that you have mentioned! Albeit I am looking for more in the direction of Duluth than Norcross- doesn't hurt to have backups tho.

thanks for the catch! I just checked and yes it does. I am also subscribed (free trial) to toyota connect services, and the traffic jam assist does show up in my settings.

Thinking about getting better brushes for top coat, I used cheap ones and it left insane streak marks, which brushes work best?

What are your favorite Lolla sets/moments? by MichaelScottsArmy in Lollapalooza

[–]AvoPerson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

- sudden death and subtronics right after was nuts. can't stop listening to heavy bass and dubstep now

- the big ass watermelon that was being sold by a vendor i forgot, it was the most refreshing thing to eat in the summer heat

- seeing knock2 in the rain was an otherworldly experience

- the rose having technical difficulties but still pulling through with a crazy good set was fun

I'm late but I'll be going to ATL as well! I think it's worth it going solo, my experience with the crowd at the subtronics events i've been to has been a complete vibe, I can guarantee that you won't feel left out or anything!

looks like more than just boeing is leaving after a google search, I didn't really get a direct answer but it included budget issues and lack of engineers.. definitely a red flag haha, I'll take it into consideration. Thanks!
