    5 yards to do target practice. Bare shaft through paper?

    Hey Archers I would like to do a bit more target practice at home to help practice my form. I only have 5 yards to shoot in my shed. Normal target practice with fletched arrows at 5 yards isn’t going to tell me much about my form. I’m thinking shooting bare shafts through paper would be best to...

To make it worse their spine size numbering is backwards. Eg- Their size 250 is a 400 spine. i shoot a Mathews v3 at 75...

    Low profile 3x fletch for single bevel broadheads

    I’m chasing ideas on what low/mid height vanes to test for a single bevel broad head. I’m having occasional fletch contact issues with fusion qii at .55” high. Would also prefer the new fletch to be around 7 grains or less to not sacrifice any FOC. 3 fletch preferred because again I don’t want...

    Conflicting tuning

    Hey Archers I have had my 3rd range session with my new 31” Mathews v3 at 75 pound. I have put 150+ arrows through it but on my last range session I did some tuning and different tuning contradicted the other. Field points and broad heads were grouping together. I had a bare shaft paper tune...

    250 spine shafts

    I’m after shafts in 250 spine. Seems to be few options in Australia. I’m hoping for something around $120 a dozen, not overly heavy but strong enough for big game. A decent bright colored badge/sticker would be a bonus. Thanks

    Does annealing or crimping mean start load development from scratch?

    Hi people I have been having some issues with my groups. I thought I would try annealing. Just a backyarder job. blow torch and drill for 7 seconds. I am yet to confirm but is it possible that it made a group worse? 300wm with rem brass. Should I try a little more or less powder to compensate...

    Different shaped groups and what they could mean

    I seem to have my days with shooting good groups or not. But most of the time I have 1 flyer out 3(probably me). My bad days seem to have different patterns.

    Forgiving bow. What to buy? Vxr vs revolt x vs ??

    I’m in the market for a new bow. After some research I was settled on either a vxr or revolt x. I hoped to go shoot both to decide which to buy but my only local shop doesn’t stock bowtech. A little disappointed. So now I am not sure what else I should consider to shoot next to the vxr. The main...

    Yesterday I tried shooting some fletched arrows and 1 bare shaft at 40 yards to see how they grouped. It was better than I thought but the bare shaft was coming in at different angles to the fletched. There’s 2 different groups attached. Today I started nock tuning 4 arrows through paper at 6...

    Insert tune vs align broadheads to vanes

    I have been reading/watching a fair bit of gear about arrow building. I have some time to kill being in covid lockdown (Melbourne Australia) so don’t mind putting in some extra time in my arrow build. One thing I am considering is insert tuning. Basically Spin testing broadhead and slightly...

    Hey archers I have a cam lean issue on my defiant to the point where the cam rubs on a cable mid draw. I have been to my local shop twice about this issue and they say it is very common with this bow and this is an example of one that is “not too bad”. They go on to tell me that one of the...

    Help- Hoyt pro series sight. Broken micro adjustment

    Hi Archers I have unfortunately broken part of my Hoyt pro series 5 micro sight. I never liked the micro adjust because it was easily bumped/adjusted accidentally. I often heard it click/adjust when pulling out or back into the bag until I started tightening this bolt as tight as I could. Well...
