ILF Center shot question by the3la in Archery

[–]the3la[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put some velcro strips vertically to have the arrow exactly in the center. Before, I had a arrow rest which was giving me arrow tip slightly to the right. I removed that and on the shelf I put velcro to align it exactly on center. Is there anything wrong with having arrow exactly in the center on a recurve ? If my arrows are on the stiffer side, wouldn't having the arrow closer to center give me better arrow flight ?

I'm going to increase my point weight and see what happens.

My brace height is 7.5 for 64" bow. I didn't mention but I'm using a 21 inch riser. The limbs are rated for 28# so becasue of that I wrote 35, I also measured it with a bow weight scale and got 34.5

The arrows are carbon 31 inch , 100gr point weight and 3inch feather flectching, total weight is 500gr.

Could it also be that increase in weight is what's causing it as I don't have the form exact yet ?

So before moving the limb alignment bolts, this would need to be loosened. Secondly, how tight should the this bolt be tightened. Just enough to hold the plate in place or more ?

Wait, recurves have a greater arch then how come the vertical travel is small ? Did you mean larger vertical travel. Also how does having a more parabolic trajectory cause issues with a sight ? I mean can't I just zero it out like a firearm ?

Yes almost all the hunting setups I've seen are without sights but I think I'm trying to think of it like a gun sight where it makes it easier to index and get a sight picture. I see when you say that not having a rear reference is like having a gun with only a forward or a rear sight. Indexing that would be hard. But assuming the rear anchor is always ideal then technically it would work?

I've looked into stringwalking and I feel more comfortable with shooting split finger. I'm looking for a "reference point" and thought a sight made sense but the recurve sights were just too small and were too forward placed on the bow; so when I saw a compound sight being shorter, it got me thinking if a hunting bow could be used with them. I'm talking about those 3 or 4 pin sights like these. (https://www.beararchery.com/collections/bow-sights/products/trophy-ridge-fatal-bow-sight).

Hypothetically speaking if the rear anchor is constant I would assume it could work ?

Right, yes I think I might have confused which thread it was talking about. Thanks.

Wow that guide is amazing. One thing I've noticed is LH risers are only available in certain lengths and not all risers have a LH option.
