Leo Sayer 2,340 Posted July 27 Author Report Share Posted July 27 These are cold steel polymer plastic ones. Compound shoots em fine and the slingbow does, but one goes off now and again. It’s a learning curve this lot, but enjoying the ride and de stress from work. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wolfdog91 6,920 Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 On a side note I've been running around with my bow and doing some videos. Bit of slow motion in this while messing with different spine weights 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leo Sayer 2,340 Posted August 6 Author Report Share Posted August 6 Since I derailed my compound bow and broke it, I’ve been concentrating on bare bow traditional archery with no sights. Started of string walking and wasn’t for me , tried split finger and settled on 3 under. I can consistently hit the target at 10 metres but I shoot left all the time. Tried swapping spines on arrows to no luck. The compounds are a lot lot easy and accurate compared to bare bow. It’s a rabbit hole I’ve gone down with this . But am trier and won’t give up !!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I de railed the compound by a fuktard idiot nooby mistake by accidentally dry firing ffs while messing with it. But tbh I’ve got the bug to learn bare bow off the shelf shooting. I think a lot more skill and have to get closer to quarry . Also in a hypothetical situation of needing a bow to secure food or large prey a take down recurve much easier to conceal in a bag then a compound and only takes minutes to assemble. Also if a member of the public seen you , would probably think a harmless Robin Hood nut job wandering about . We’re as with a compound it’s a big thing to get on and off land and also to the average joe you would look like Rambo . Just my take on it if the world went tits up and you needed to be stealthy. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Get a short A2A mines 32 inch?Dry firing might have damaged the limbs,check for that,when you go into a pro archery shop stateside they all have locks on so while you can pick them off the rack you can’t draw them.I just suggested a better spec compound for range and accuracy.

Got a guy who comes in my business going to take me after hours to his archery club to look at mine on a bow press and hopefully fix it , if not was cheap as chips and will just buy another. Is A2A a make of bow ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
