Oak Ridge Mystic, a good starter bow!

Suffering from some lower back problems sp I decided to shoot my sons bow. It’s an Oak Ridge Mystic, a 3 piece take down with alloy riser, 30#@28”. A real sweet shooting bow for less then €100!

[@sigmanarchery54]

Not a bad looking bow seams to shoot pretty well.

just bought my Mystic,but in 35 lbs.....you were right,great beginner bow,great bow,after all,,less than 80 euros

[@thearcheryapprentice8511]

That’s great to hear! Have fun with your new bow! 👍🏻

[@cosmintitus7103]

sorry for bothering you again,but I have a question:the recommended brace height for this bow is 6 to 6.5 inches,and yours seems longer in the video.Please explain that to me .Is there a particular reason?

[@thearcheryapprentice8511]

Cosmin Titus I think it's somewhere between 7 & 7,5 because my son shoots it and his drawlenght is only around 26". So with a shorter drawlenght I set the bracehight a bit higher. But don't be affraid to experiment, you can go from 6 to almost 8" bracehight, just got to find what works and shoots best.

[@cosmintitus7103]

Thank you for the advice,I am a beginner,any advice helps.Have a nice day.

[@cosmintitus7103]

you are right once again :D I got a new string and silencers....it is so quiet I can almost hear the feathers on the arrow....

Where did you buy it

[@thearcheryapprentice8511]

Just at a local archery shop.

[@DivineTestimonies]

Hey I just got mine yesterday, I love it but because I have standard vane arrows (Easton | XX75 Tribute Arrows) I'd need to add a arrow rest so it does not catch off the riser shelf, any idea what arrow rest would be suitable for this bow? The Shibuya Ultima Magnetic Arrow Rest was what I was thinking but since where the pressure hole is, there isn't much room :(

[@thearcheryapprentice8511]

Great you love the bow, but I'm afraid I can't help you much with a choice of arrow rest because I've never used one before! 😉 But if your bow and arrows are tuned right and your knocking point is set right, shooting arrows with vanes of the shelf should not be a problem. Some of my friends use arrows with vanes for shooting in the rain and they all shoot traditional bows of the shelf.

[@DivineTestimonies]

@@thearcheryapprentice8511 thanks I'll speak with the shop I bought it from or others as well and see what I can do... Either find a rest suitable if needed or get fletched feathers put on them.

[@DivineTestimonies]

What string is used? I got the one that came with the bow and it's tough to string it with the stringer strap... it feels kinda short :-/

[@thearcheryapprentice8511]

@@DivineTestimonies it's a 14 strand Fast flight string. A good friend of mine makes all my strings.

[@bratanpaul9058]

Can you add a compound/hunting sight on it?

[@thearcheryapprentice8511]

Not sure to be honest. There are 2 holes drilled in the riser wich i used to attach the bow quiver. Don´t know if these are standard size to fit a bow sight.

[@gompie250]

Does brace height matter on this style bow?

[@thearcheryapprentice8511]

Yes, brace height always matters on a bow. For a recurve around 8" is a good starting point. You can then tune lower or higher depending on your draw length, bow characteristics,... to find the sweet spot.

I smell dutch

Which arrows you used in the video?

[@thearcheryapprentice8511]

I believe these were the Bearpaw pentalon hunter extreme arrows. Thanks for watching.
