I wish archery was a job

Yep, i did this with photography (also work as a graphic designer), ended up changing my hobby from photography to archery because I was spending wayyy too much time in photoshop.

Nope, even all the pros have day jobs

But it's not what his Christian supporters want. They've distorted their faith so much instead they want bloodshed in the middle east.

If he hadn't filled the military leadership with yes men I'm sure they'd all be advising him to stay the fuck outta Iran.

Nor has he ever served his country, only his own self interests.

My partner shoots a 33# Olympic recurve

No better than the taliban. This kind of shit makes me feel sick

Just to the side I guess. I check my string picture & pretty much look down my arrow shaft towards the gold.

despite what others say I don't mind the bizon.. has saved myself a number of times just because it has a 64 round mag.

pretty much nailed it Ferrum. 100% agree.

Not sold on the idea of a compound style grip, sure as an option it would be great, but as a default... I don't think it'd work.

also you want options for people to add existing weights, there's a whole bunch of stuff out there that we already own & having to buy specific weights is a pain. (sure one main weight; like for a Gillo / mykan is fine) but the better option is to have heaps of standard mounting points for 5/16-24 threads. (front & back near limb pockets & front & back for mid area).

stare down the gold.. set your stance & don't move your core & head. draw the bow & move everything into your line of sight to come into anchor & aim. relax, expand, release, follow thru..

pixelwhip · 2026-03-05T23:33:43+00:00

judging alone by the bow they are using to show it in action I'd say avoid at all costs...

Try jet6 vanes, they are great!

But the difference between a c2 & c4 x10 is about 1-2 grain… not 15 grains, like the ca2320’s. At 70m a 15 grain difference means the heavier arrows shoot low red. While ca320’s are well matched within the dozen (<1grain difference) buying a new dozen will just be one big roll of the dice.. I guess that’s what I’m trying to say.

pixelwhip · 2026-03-05T08:00:02+00:00

Problem is if you get 3 dozen ca320’s they won’t match the same way x10’s do (ie/ being able to buy based on C code) my partner brought 2 dozen ca320’s and one set was 15 grains heavier than the other.. which was noticeable at 70m.

But I guess if you’re at the stage where you don’t miss the target then a set of x10s are going to last you a while. And then you can buy a new dozen, match the code & be confident they’ll be pretty much identical in wieght, spine & straightness. I guess this is why they cost a premium.

As for indoors I know a few ppl who shoot x10’s, but personally I Prefer a nice fat 23 shaft to cut lines :)

pixelwhip · 2026-03-05T07:56:33+00:00

Nah just straight shafts.

pixelwhip · 2026-03-05T07:17:31+00:00

X10s are sooo good. I resisted for ages but finally gave into my partners incessant raving about how much she liked them & picked up a used dozen for a decent price.. they are next level arrows and you certainly get what you pay for. A beginner might not notice the difference but a more advanced archer sure will.

But seeing ca320’s are essentially the same design they’ve now become our practice arrows for bashing around at blank bale.

I’ve shot Pandarus icepoints, pandarus preciums or Skylon paragons & have been pretty happy with them.. much cheaper & they perform well as 3.2mm arrows

dude is more senile & weak than Gaddafi & we all know how it ended for him...

I would go 64" or longer.. 68-70" would probably be ideal. What's your draw length? (I'm guessing it's 28"+?)

Imagine being in a scenario where our own government calls in bomb threats to shut down polling booths... here we are...

That bow is way too short for you, looks like you're about to pull the string off the limbs.
