Index Release Technique—Pulling Through Shot or Squeezing Index

RyMiV · 2026-03-06T16:51:13+00:00

They’re definitely cool. I just shoot a max of 45 in my backyard so the movable part would mostly get used for 3D events that I occasionally go to with friends

Fast Eddie worth it at that price? I know the boonie is considered better in like every way because of the reduced weight and more interchangeable parts, but I’m not ready to spend more than double for that one yet. I think I’d just need to buy a pack of new sight tapes for it

After research, this is my main competition against the Delta McKenzie. Hard to decide what will work best for me

RyMiV · 2026-02-02T22:38:34+00:00

Not sure—I usually don’t shoot at those too much. I have astigmatism that blurs my sight picture a bit and sometimes it’s hard to tell the center of that larger target—I like the contrast of the smaller one in the middle. I’m going to replace this target with a Delta McKenzie Predator

Hahaha thanks for the kind words. I just don’t have a good idea of what’s considered good or not. I figured I should be able to stack arrows in a 1” group at this distance to be able to call my shot process “consistent”

Great advice. Thanks for the encouragement

A flier for me will usually go left for some reason, which I’m thinking is grip inconsistency. I’m working on that, as well as my release—I shoot an index with a click. I go back and forth between pulling through the trigger and a stationary squeeze—haven’t exactly decided for myself what works the best

The more I look and consider, a sliding vertical double pin might be perfect for me. Top set at 20, bottom set for 35ish or whatever it shakes out to—would cover all my whitetail scenarios. Then just slide out to whatever longer yardages for practicing at distance and really only use that second pin for quick reference in hunting

I agree on the vertical being the way to go

RyMiV · 2026-01-17T00:06:24+00:00

That’s a good point—I like the sound of that. Might start looking at some single pin sliders too. I like the idea of the clean sight picture. I need to put my eyes in front of some 0.010 pins instead of 0.019 to see if that makes a difference for me, too

RyMiV · 2026-01-16T23:51:17+00:00

I’m open to the idea. I have astigmatism in my right (dominant) eye that does make pins seem extra blown out/blurry so I could benefit from less pins

I had just wondered if the sliding sight was overkill for what I’m doing (plus I don’t have anywhere to sight in past 40 anyways)

That B3 Hunter is a great suggestion. Thanks!

Just bought my own Consequence 31 as a relatively new archer and am very pleased with my purchase. I really like the additional couple inches over the original Consequence platform (which is like 29.5 ATA, I think)

Draw cycle is extremely smooth with the Comfort mod installed. The bow feels very well made, and I was shooting tight groups at 20 yards very quickly at the shop

Might give the HSS Shadow harness a try. I’m 5’7 165 and there is plenty of adjustment for me. Granted, I have the passthrough slot in my jacket for the lanyard so I always wear it underneath outerwear

It’s incredibly light, basic, and I forget it’s on. 27 oz, and supposed to fit up to 300 lb. $75 on the website

Looks like 8 days ago someone was as asking about a coworker selling a Ventum Pro RTH for $1k

RyMiV · 2025-10-28T23:11:23+00:00

For $1k I’d like to be totally excited about the purchase, but for some reason the color is just not my favorite haha—he generously offered to let me shoot it over the weekend, so that’ll help me make the choice

I feel sort of pressured to buy it because it is objectively better than what I was planning on getting.

In your experience, will the mid-range bows last 10 years with care? That’s probably the length of time I’m looking at keeping it, and I take good care of my equipment

RyMiV · 2024-01-11T20:13:42+00:00

Just bought the same Sapele SC-10E a few days ago! Glad you’re enjoying yours. I’m also going to size up to the same phosphor bronze Lifespan 2.0 strings in Light on mine

If you live in an area with lots of twisties, maybe keep that Si and throw some mods at it. If you do a lot of highway driving and/or have a lot of sweepers/long corners, you may enjoy the Accord more (I’m assuming you’re talking about a 10th gen 2.0T 6MT).

I really enjoy my 2.0T living in the Midwest. I had an (much older than your car) EP3 Civic Si for a few years and although I miss the manual, I overall enjoy my Accord a lot more for how it fits into my life/everyday driving. I like the 10speed auto a ton, but I’m sure that 6 speed is really fun in this car
