What Is A Riser (Handle) - Archery Terminology
Переглядів 1,8 тис.3 роки тому
A Riser is sometimes referred to as a handle. A riser is effectively the center section of a bow where you hold it. This section does not bend or flex when you draw the bow. It serves as the base to which all other accessories attach. Risers are made with different materials, sizes, and limb fitment types.
What is A Recurve Bow? - Archery Terminology
Переглядів 1,5 тис.3 роки тому
Considering that we specialise in Recurve Archery, what better video to start off with than "What is a Recurve Bow?". Recurve bows inherited their name from the curvature of the limbs at each end of the bow. Recurve bows always curve back on themselves. This design allows the bow to store more energy and improves speed and power. Modern recurve bows are usually take-down bows and can be disasse...

Black Eagle Intrepid Arrows - First Look & Review
Very informative, brother. Straight to the point - no pun intended. Thank you for sharing! - John 3:16 - John 14:6 - Revelation 1:8 - 2 Corinthians 1:20
I'm using a mask just because i want to keep my facial hair XD
Hello useful info. May I ask how i can purchase the excel file of the draw vs weight?
This is great and I've subbed. Here's my spin on poundage #### Starter limbs relate to starter arrows. Learning proper form and then going up in ### would be great except for this $$$$$$$$. Every time you advance (don't have a spine chart handy) so many pounds you need to also replace your arrows. Here is another factor assuming a 25" riser: String angle and FPS based on 66 - 70" bow length. When starting out a coach or adviser will make a quick determination that your rig should be 70" but that conclusion could be based on generalizations. Thusly you may be reducing your arrow speed and getting a sore nose. If longer risers were easy to get w/ shorter limbs you could get the speed back up. My point is that the starter equipment is necessary to get the ball rolling and then after it does, skipping up the limbs gets to be expensive when you account for; Length, poundage, arrows, strings, risers and then any other parts that get improved. To get up to 55# at my DL happened in 3 limbs, 3 risers, 3 strings and 3 arrow spines all w/ skipping any quality arrows. Put another way I used the budget method and I bought a Bow Trainer for $50.00 to help w/ increasing my draw weight. The bow I have now is all "Latest Greatest New" but most of the other 2 were "Older Good Used" equipment. Recurve archery could be the most expensive addiction ever. You get your carbon/foam limbs, matching carbon riser and then think, "Wow, I really like the matching stabilizer set that's only $900.00!" Then one day you realize that you must cut more off your x10s w the cheaper SS points so then you must get the tungsten points so you better be right about that spine cause your arrows are now over $750.00.
Thank you.

If you are right handed, do you therefore need a right hand riser?
yep... if you hold it with your left hand then it's a right handed riser :D
2:13 ...I like to go to the city and dumpster dive various carpet install business's and take their carpet straps. (sometimes whole 10'x 30' pieces) and cut them to size, for the frame, a couple of ratchet straps and voila ....works great for outdoor stand in all weather conditions, as long as you put a tarp over it.

I'm looking for a buttress for a crossbow ... arrows at 325 fps with bow at 120 # draw. What do you think??
Pure nonsense 😂.
In your opinion. For most it is not relevant anymore but in many countries like South Africa it was a legal requirement to shoot with a mask. This was in the very early phase of COVID and only meant as some insight into how to maintain some kind of reasonable anchor with a mask. We no longer are required to use the mask so it is not really valid anymore but was useful to some
ᑭяỖmo𝓼𝐦 👀
Id be very worried about the metal thread-bar.. if you hit that you'll rebound almost anywhere and probably destroy a part/all of your arrow
Yes, the threaded bar can be a problem regarding arrow damage. I have seen arrows hit this bar many times usually the arrow bounces a metre or two back or skims past and behind the target into whatever backstop is present. A quick solution to this that I have used is to mount a strip of softwood across the front of the butt at the top and bottom in front of the bar. This will protect arrows quite well. The threaded bars are very useful for the maintenance of the butt. As the cardboard or foam softens from use, a spanner is all you need to tension the butt back up again or to take it apart to replace some of the material.
I have a similar target but using rubber. The threaded bar I covered by pushing garden hose over it.
what will happen if i change the 70" bow string to 68" bow string? is it will broke the limb of the riser? or it will make a higher poundage
נתניה?
Is there a chance that you'll be having a giveaway bow? cuz I'm interested but I cant afford one
Has anyone found similar lengths/widths for the rods and boards in inches? Having trouble converting these to imperial in the United States
Great, thanks for the video
u dont need treaded rod all the way just some bolts attached to a bent electrical conduit bent and you can tencion that way
Nice design 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. I use old rug from a remodel. They were square segments from the factory
Shithouse for tuning broadheads..... strictly target heads only!!
I made a similar frame but used jute backed carpet. Got that from an installation companies dumpster. It was clean cutoff pieces leftover from a job. Works great, lasts a lot longer than cardboard and stops the arrows well. I used metal bracing that they use to hang pipes and cables. Make sure the carpet is jute backed only with no glue. Not rubber or foam. That stuff will stick to the arrows and is really hard to pull out.
....but some of your material masks aren't fitted properly on your face.....great video by the way
Great job! Clearly explained and good range of samples to show.
Thank you so much! High praise coming from someone who has done so well in the space.
Great overview of different risers. Thanks for sharing the video. Have a great day.
Thanks for the support! Much appreciated
Awesome build my friend. I've wanted to try building one of these type targets. Thanks for posting. Supporting your channel. Have a great day
I've seen a lot of diy archery targets. I like the idea of layered corrugated cardboard. I don't like to layer foam or rubber because of environmental reasons. I don't want pieces of rubber falling all over the place. Cardboard damaged from use or weather can be easily replaced and thrown into the recycling bin. I worry about such a hard frame. Bad shots will get stuck in the wood and possibly break your arrow. I put all those cardboard layers inside corrugated cardboard boxes- open side facing the archer. As a backstop to protect my wall and my arrows, I make a whole bunch more corrugated cardboard targets and place them behind my main target to catch bad shots above and each side. I shoot a 40 lb recurve so I don't worry about my arrows shooting through my target. My set up would probably be too weak for compound bows.
I'm going to compress three bales of straw this way then box it in with exterior grade plywood.
Awesome bro. I have a food service department at my work that throws away cardboard daily. Nice.
@@pokerman9108 I find that old blue jeans are very tough. If you pack them lightly, the arrows may bounce off.
Thank you. We've been wondering if a speciality mask would be required, but this answered many questions. Much appreciated!
Great, glad it was helpful. Hope you work out something comfortable to shoot in.
Great video, thank you.
These exercises are really helpful, especially as my core, back and shoulders are weak from years of desk work. Any plans on having some workouts we can follow online? Great work, thank you for the tips!
Glad you are finding the exercises useful. We may look at putting together a workout plan but for now the focus is on building a database of detailed tutorial videos on a bunch of different exercises. Simply working through all (or even just some) of these exercises every day or two will be very effective.
Ok, so hands & knees for 2mins, then on elbows and knees for 2mins, then if this is ok try normal plank and build up to 2mins and past that, increase time and weight. Very helpful, thanks :D
Some veteran archers recommended hot melt because these arrows going into say stramit reach very high temps - epoxy glues will crystallize and go brittle.. Hotmelt will soften but quickly re-set so I did use hotmelt here and have have zero issues using that..
The spine chart doesn't cover the 1100, 1200,1300 spine that is offered and chart confusing for low poundage recurve...eg 10-15lb 25" arrow spine suggested 900. seems a bit stiff
Does any manufacturer make an insert for this arrow?
Coul you please measure the size of the point, the part outside the shaft? And the nock, from the shaft to the point of contact with the string.
