I think most of us, here are heading that way with shoulder issues. I know l have them. So far I can still shoot 50lbs or so. Don’t do long shooting sessions anymore though….

Hi Rucksack

Welcome to the forum…

I too am having shoulder issues also now,  I can still shoot ok but,  I am going to have to do something in the near future

Glad Richard asked about those articles I can review them myself..

in reply to: Glove grease ………… #168412

Richard /kees

Finally ….haha

I have not tried the glove grease / bees wax method , but will experiment. I get my gloves from American leathers ( buffalo /bison) and they have built a medium strap and large fingers glove for me .. The large size is tight on my fingers and the medium back/ strap, keep the finger portion from slipping forward on release.

I have modified gloves in the past ( I can work / sew leather) to fit better ….

Your greased glove email showed up in a alert mail to me ( let’s me know there’s activity on the forum ) but I couldn’t find it here ?

Maybe try sending it again?

Hi Robin

No sweat we’ll work thru it . I just scroll down …quickly. if it gets too long , we can start a new forum😁

 

Kees

Good to hear from you . Yes on fletch in the hand , dont care for that myself….

Sometimes I put a “cushier” rest on a bow ( higher,  away from my hand…) but if it’s shooting like you want it sounds like a perfect solution . Enjoy your new bow..

Thanks to all the Veterans out there past, present , future— their sacrifices allow us all to have a nice Holiday weekend…

Peter

Welcome to the forum… not sure about Joules as we here in US go by weight the bow pulls. Not by Ft lbs of energy? 35 Lb bow and 500gr plus arrows( with Razor Sharp bhead ) and up,  are usually preferred here….

I have no experience with the hoyt satori, so can’t say …

Maybe Steve will comment..

in reply to: Longbow string question? #168075

Skinner biscuit

Sorry to take so long to respond … out of pocket for a bit. Glad it was easily fixed.

That is what I was going to recommend.  I usually try to contact whoever built the bow and get a new string from them , or follow their recommendations to solve the problem… if possible.

Enjoy your new Bow

Excellent to see young folks on the traditional Achery trail !

Looks like they have a good turn out at that school. In ancient times when I went to UNM they had a dedicated archery range… long gone now
