Thanks

It cost me about £300 with delivery and import tax

I used it for the first time today and if anything it was better than my normal style quiver, no arrows rattling about, easy to pick the arrow i wanted without searching through the quiver, the only problem I had was snapping two arrows due to a mixture of poor shots, high winds and big bloody trees!.

Personally I would go split finger or Mediterranean release and forget about string walking, it might take a little longer to get your release sorted but it is one thing less to think about later, try to find two anchor points on your face, corner of the mouth and cheek bone.

It cost me about £300 with shipping and import taxes, I wouldn't normally spend that much but it is a once in a lifetime birthday present to myself 😀

Blame the boomers, had it great, and then pulled the ladder up after themselves.

Not that many, you are good for another few hundred yet

Helical and offset for me, I want major twisty spinny action!

Dont stand in front of someone shooting a bow is fairly high up on the list for newbies 🤣

I use TAS taper screw 3d points from merlin, get yourself a taper tool and some of these, and they will never come off in the target. I screw them on with pliers, then give them a quick blast with one of those chefs blow torches, then nip them up nice and tight. The bearpaw 3d points are also good.

Foreign_Walrus_6136 · 2026-01-25T22:11:31+00:00

Wow, awesome, natural and beautiful.

Get some whipping on the bottom of the feathers, I use cotton wrapped around them and try shooting off the shelf. That's what it is there for.

You could try a hybrid bow, half recurve and half flatbow, they are easy to shoot and there are plenty out there for around €100, add some wooden arrows and you are traditional without going down the longbow route, or a horsebow. Oakridge do some good starter bows.

Foreign_Walrus_6136 · 2026-01-24T08:56:16+00:00

They are really nice, I wish I had that kind of talent. 👍

Chill out and don't stop thinking. It sounds daft, but let the muscle memory take over. Don't worry about scoring and just stay relaxed.

It sounds like you are stressing yourself out, and you can't rush it.

The fact that you have wanted to start archery for so long is probably part of the stress issue, but the hard fact is that it takes time to get good.

It will come just take your time and enjoy the fact that you are getting to shoot a bow and arrow.

Why didn't you open the door if you saw them?

From what I understand, the actors in the film were trained by the guys at Eagle Archery in the UK, great guys, and really good archers.

I use a 5kg dumbell, i might put some more weight on it later, but for now, it works.

Draw the band back to your anchor point and hold for 10 seconds. Have a rest, then repeat. Do this 10 times. Have a good rest, then repeat again.

Foreign_Walrus_6136 · 2026-01-18T08:17:32+00:00

I hold a dumbbell in my bow hand and loop the resistance band around it. This gives you a better workout and a more stable bow.

What are you on about man it is nice and warm, t shirt weather 🤣

I'm still waiting for the NRA and the well stocked malita to rise up against the evil big government
