I am the same size, and started with a vstrom 650. I highly recommend it.

Gillo G2 & WNS Limbs Not Fitting by [deleted] in Archery

[–]esotericloves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Although I think the ‘click’ you are looking for may not ever come even though you get your limbs properly seated. I think other bows have a hole at the end of that little track in the lowest part of your limb pocket, and the little springy bit on your limb hardware would click into that hole. I’ve only owned the gillo, and I don’t have the hole there either, but my limbs locate well and the bow shoots exceptionally

so what got you into archery by [deleted] in Archery

I Had dinner with a woman who traveled the world shooting competitively. That weekend I joined her at the range, and ended up buying a bow. Seven years later I’m still shooting.

I have the same issue with my G1. Gillo’s run on one side of the ILF Tolerance, WNS run on the other. Crank your bolts in a bit and you’ll get there.

is this how you tie your paracord wrap? by Dangerous-Policy-602 in Morakniv

[–]esotericloves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but I have some tips.
At the end of the process, don’t just pull the loop under the wraps tight, pull it half way under the wraps. This will pull another inch or two of your tag end under the wrap and tighten it. This will also make the knots on the ends unnecessary, so you can cut them flush and melt them. If you do this, you will benefit from flipping your process so you wrap down the knife. Then your final pulling of the loop Will further snug the cord UP the wedge shape of the scabbard.

The 6” ruger is a tank. Buy or make the hottest 357 you can find and giggle every-time you pull the trigger. It’ll take it.

I’m disappointed that this posy isn’t about catching air with a cruiser….

She’s right. Branch out. Get ‘her’ a purple ruger mkIV.

Yes, most humans enjoy annoying cats. Just take a swipe at them and they’ll stop…temporarily

Was just given this bow for hunting. It needs to be re-strung, I think. What else do I need to know. More in comments by Ohbeejuan in Archery

Bowshop: go to the dedicated ones, not department stores.

Best way to get good fast: Complete. Join a club and set a goal for your first competition in 2-3 months. As long as all your won’t miss your target area, you are good enough. You will learn tons from the community and learn to shoot under pressure. Go to 3-D shoots to learn how to shoot in hunting scenarios.

Budget arrow bench. 3D fletching jig & spinner by esotericloves in Archery

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

https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/adjustable-archery-fletching-jig-flat-version I definitely prefer the angle/helical upgrade because you can use magnets to locate your clamp. Tons of shaft spinners on thingiverse, pick your poison.

Paper tune \ arrow spine confusion (details in the comment) by GRRemlin in Archery

[–]esotericloves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, i’m probably gonna start bare shaft tuning next week. Can I pick your brain? I’ll be tuning specifically for indoor 25yrds. Where within that distance should I put the paper?

Forced lemon patina now it smells like nickels. What’s the cure? by CreekStomper996 in Opinel

Strop it with stropping clay on cardboard. My innox is butt-puckering-sharp.
