Thread: Any Archers out there??

Hey these are communal targets on the range. Not ALL the bad shots are mine!

Any time that I am feeling a little cocky all I have to do is shoot with some club mates or at a tournament. I get put in my place real quick.

Last Wednesday for the first day of leagues a friend showed up and got a sheepish look on his face. He had brought his bow but had no arrows.... I had ten left of my 2 week old dozen which is a whole nother story. He proceeded to beat me by ONE point. WITH MY OWN TOYS!

He did buy me a soda for rent at the clubhouse when we were done.

I'm gonna head to the club, later tomorrow when the sun is falling.

OUCH!

Not exactly what happened to me but an interesting video.

Don't know if any of yall shoot scopes but if you do I'm curious what lenses you use in them? I've got a new one that removes the pin from the scope and replaces it with a dot that's pretty awesome!

I shoot a 4x with a ring. I tend to try to peek at the spot with a dot.

'Twas a rough weekend for my arrows. Currently down to 4. I have a fita style tournament coming up. I've been shooting Easton pro fields and really like them performance wise, $ wise not so much. I was hoping a few of you may have experience with GT ultralight pro.

i mostly shoot field and average 540, most ranges I shoot wind isn't a big concern. I need uniformity and consistency.

trying to keep arrow build cost down, and stay away from aluminum carbon arrows because of durability issues. So other recommendations would be welcomed.

i have tried vaps, and black eagle micro diameter shafts, both left me wanting more out of them.

I don't like covering up what I am aiming at. For spots with my compound I use a True Spot. For my Olympic recurve I use an adjustable orifice.

If you remove your lens for cleaning etc. make sure it goes back in the same position. Them dang dots are never truly centered. At least I can't. Or you can get a lens with a centering groove.

I have liked the vaps I got this spring. Except I agree with price. I still have 10 of the dozen I got this spring although #10 doesn't seem to be flying right

Check out Clear Targets - Archery Scope Lenses they're the ones I was talking about and I've shot a few of them with some crazy styles (ring, dot, combination) and I've never had any issues with the dots not being centered. YMMV.
