Back into archery!

Closeup of the stitching, looks better in black IMHO


Arrrrgh, they now make a "kickback" model to keep arrows more inside the bow outline. Dangit..........looks like I gotta work over and get one! LOL

I tried 3 under, even Wilson 3 under tabs way back. My buds shoot 3 under (gloves) but I'm staying split (tab). Anchored corner of mouth, middle finger, for yrs, but went to bottom finger so arrow is where 3 under middle finger at old anchor would be

I was good to 30 in a couple of weeks last yr with the change. Took a while to get it to feel right though, after yrs of the old anchor.

Laying off since Feb.........it feels rather strange in restart.

I don't shoot past 25 on deer with recurve anyway. I could but think my time of flight to be the limiter, even when well practiced. That said, I'll send a sharp stick at a chuck or yote past 25.........out to 40. Got my first BW kill in 2001 when a yote spooked the doe I crawled into position for and was waiting on. 42 yds.

Mad as Hell, that poor yellow dog was toast.

You watch the Youtube Ricky Welch stuff? They all shoot 3 under and lay 'em right in there!
Can't argue with success!!!!!!

Same yardage as me.

Kwikees are so old as to be considered traditional

I drilled one bow for quiver bushings yrs ago, came out great, but was the last one for me.
Didn't care for the look of the bushings in the wood when quiver off.

My last 2 BW's got Deltas attached to custom brackets on the limb bolts. Those worked great (I made them). Cleaner look than the rubber strap on GN I use now. But the GN fits any bow and requires no special brackets.

Lazy these days, I find it tolerable.

Running a metal riser this season, still think wood looks way better.

25 for deer..............but I shoot the compound stakes when in 3D

Not the best for score, but best for fun.............esp when it goes in the 10 ring with people watching.............that 35 to 45 yard arc is coooooooooool.

I was laying some into a milk jug last night at 55...yeah I know there is no video but shooting archery for so long and finally having that kind of accuracy and speed is so nice I can't lie about it.

You must also be lactose intolerant

Kill all milk jugs!

OK man, you got me fired up, ate and am off to the range before work to flip some!

Arrgh, had to cut it short (kids had practice, I had to play taxi).
Did try my new stabilizer...........K tech 3". Helped some, running the S coil module in it.
Bow still a bit back leaning, proly needs the stabilizer weight an inch farther out.

Might add wrist sling, even though I shoot with index and middle finger pressure on front of riser, and have for years with no sling (recurves only- fingers curled to side on compounds and use sling, loose though).

Hmmmm, stab, sling...........do we get silly and add a sight LOL????
