I've never had any sort of sight system on my compound bow, having always chosen to shoot instinctive. My first choice of bow was always a Longbow (The Welsh ancestry thing happening for me), but I...

My two eldest girls have gotten some toy bows from the medieval fair held in my area over the weekend. I've never pushed them to take an interest in archery and they haven't seen me shoot, but my...

Yep. Just put a nock on an uncut shaft and make a line around the shaft from the 27" distance from the nock, mark a few more past that and you should be able to see at what point your arrow 'tip' is...

Yes that adds up but I would think about using a 100gr field point instead. You'll still be well within minimums set by the IBO. So long as you keep your arrows no lighter than 360gr for your bows...

The last time I went out on the Archery range, it was a bad day for me. I destroyed to various degrees, a quiver full of arrows. I started off well, but somewhere along the way it all went to shite....
