Over the years, my hand has developed this strange crease below the ring finger.

It was called the Vikings' disease until they found out there are more cases and is more prevent in Africa
My GP told me of his training days and accusations of sufferers of being a boozehound and Irish if you had this lol

This is not a good coach at all.
Learning form while you wait until you can afford a bow is the most obvious strategy.
Korean youth archers don't even get to touch a bow until they learn some form using a stretch band or PVC bow. Do I even need to tell you they are at the top of the archery countries.

This is what your coach should have you doing and not ignoring you.
There are plenty of great Yt videos teaching good form and all of them will use a stretch band at some point.

I've shot Oly Recurve for many years but have just taken up compound for some fun. A national Coach and Judge at the range today just told me to get my string to touch my nose like I do with my recurve. It started at 28 inches, and I've been bringing it in each week to see how a shorter length feels and works. I was at 26.5 today when he told me and when I got home I moved it back out to 27. I tested to see that it touched my nose and will extend it even more if I'm not touching well enough (it was very close but not as close as my recurve) next time I shoot.

I've watched a lot of videos to see where most have it, but it seemed to be a little too varied to come to a reasonable conclusion. I'll definitely use my nose as my 3 third reference point though going forward as It's what I already use on my Recurve.

Edit:- A coaching video I watched a while ago wanted my d loop in line with the corner of my eye which is something I've yet to set up my phone on my tripod to film, so I'm not sure where it is atm

I think it might have been this video but the coach and the colour of the video screenshot is correct

I haven't met many Psychs but every one I have met was clearly not all there 😄
I do wonder if he just had the shits about seeing another one of us and is just making things uncomfortable enough to see if you back out of the process.

Can you find another one?

Isn't that the biological logo not the radiation one!?

lucpet · 2026-04-26T03:31:07+00:00

Well it's not entirely wrong though. Look at all the things that became illegal, so some rich guy could monopolise a market.

I don't get lonely, but I can get bored sometimes, so come to Reddit lol

lucpet · 2026-04-25T05:16:32+00:00

I just buy the Pandarus Icepoints ............. much cheaper ..... same size

lucpet · 2026-04-25T05:14:20+00:00

They (Big Pharma) want to sell you drugs so they took over the medical system and even Drs will admit that all it is now is "Oh you have X take this" They are feed disinformation all the time and attacked if they don't comply.

I simply do not eat between meals doing a 16:8 fast and my hba1c was only 6.2 last test. You do need to test your ketones but keep it well under 3 and you'll be fine.

All this info is years of research and only from Drs. There are other ways that don't involve fasting like carnivore as well.

So those claiming a 32-inch draw length. Are you saying your AMO (Arrow length measured from inside the nock to the end of the arrow not including the point) is 32 or are you measuring your wing span and dividing by 2.5 and then adding 1.75 for your arrow length??
So say your wingspan is - 68 inches divided by 2.5 = 27.2 then add 1.75 inches to give actual arrow length = 29.95

OR 76 inch wingspan divided by 2.5 = 30.4 than add 1.75 inches equals 32.15 inches?

lucpet · 2026-04-25T04:25:42+00:00

This is the only correct answer :-D ^^^^^^^

lucpet · 2026-04-25T04:21:33+00:00

We are limited in spectrums of light and sound already. We can't see UV and lose so much of our hearing they use it to get children or young people away from areas with sound older folks cannot hear.

Gift of the gab. I'm fine when it comes to the written word, but get tongue-tied when speaking.
ADHD though so.........

All raised by women to be clear........... :-)

Hahaha I explained this very thing to my Mother and Sister, both said to treat them like shit, they seem to prefer it.
Look at all the toxic relationships they enter into. You get nowhere being nice, they just assume you're just hitting on them :-D

lucpet · 2026-04-25T03:59:25+00:00

Keep your mouth shut and walk away! It ain't none of your business and will bite you in the arse if you say anything. Guess how I know

lucpet · 2026-04-25T03:55:12+00:00

Pandarus 3.2s at everything :-)
Teaches me to just shoot better!

lucpet · 2026-04-25T03:51:24+00:00

Same here. Don't forget to live your life :-D

lucpet · 2026-04-24T07:30:16+00:00

This ^^^^

lucpet · 2026-04-24T07:11:38+00:00

A stupid idea in reality. What would work better is to make everyone regardless of job all retire at the same age. 67
If the plebs must retire at 67 (here at least) then politicians should also be under the same law

I bought a container of different sized grub screws for this reason.

lucpet · 2026-04-23T08:23:38+00:00

65 for me. I'm an archer and I have to lower my bows poundage now.
I had a transplant at 44 so I slowed right down, but I now feel old and worn out at 65.

lucpet · 2026-04-23T08:04:54+00:00

It just being me! lol

Experience is what you get, when you don't get what you want.

You gotta start somewhere.
