Wow…thanks everybody for all of the info. I have lowered my arm and can definitly see a change in my accuracy…very encouraging indeed. I hope to be investing in some feather arrows in the near future. All of the above advice is good and very appreciated. Thank you. I will keep you updated on my progress. 😀

Trad archery is great fun, and a shooting sport one can easily do in the yard [as your photos show].

To echo fattony77 feather fletch is best for tradbow arrows.

I would recommend the Traditional Bowhunter’s Handbook by TJ Conrads – great primer [ even if you don’t hunt] excellent reference for trad archery info.

I have just ordered that book from the library. Am looking forward to reading it! Thanks for the input.

Plastic. One has already broken off and one is on the verge of being ripped out.

Gentlemen, Thank you for your input and encouragement. I am self taught and am enjoying the new hobby very much…just hit a little glitch perhaps. I will take all of your advice into account and will work on my technique. I will double check the tuning as well. I am embarassed to say that I don’t know what material the string is made of. It’s an entry level bow, so maybe there is a standard material that is used for most beginner bows. Thanks again everyone.
