Re: How long do you hold at full draw?

Interesting thread, after Grahame suggested to time your hold I did. The outcome was 2-3 seconds, when this occurs my accuracy is good. Ever since I started my trad journey I have pondered with the concept of the phrase "Instinctive shooting". I have my own theories with this, I believe it...

Re: Goldtip traditionals, tuning observations and Stu's calc

I have had very similar results with the trads and I believe the 5575 Trads spine out around 380 spine due to the film over the carbon. I can use the 5575 with 330 up front out of my Bob Lee @ 55lb 28.75 DL and they shoot like darts. They will not shoot out of the new Flatline @ 60lb unless I drop p...

Re: Tracking Goats and Goat sign

Pending weather conditions they will usually bed up when the weather starts to warm up. If there are goats in your area you will see tracks on the game trail...

A big shout out for Rob from Flatline bows. I recieved my bow today, I must say I am impressed. The bow looks better in my hand than in the pics, the first thing I did was string it and went to the butt. I shot two differn't weighted carbon arrows, 650g with 3 X 4" feathers and 700g with 3 X 3&...

Hazard I remember speaking to you at the 2011 Archery Expo about the Flatline bows and was not in a position to buy one then. Since then I have been taken by the recurve and trad archery. It should be nice @61lbs on the goats and piggies :) aiming for around a 670 - 700 grain shaft with 26 - 28 % FO...

Nice camper Rod, as I read this I talk to my wife about a camper. Now you have even more excuses to get out there hunting, you just need a small tiny or kayak for the top.

Enjoy cheers Macca.

Well done Chewy, once you get a couple on the ground you are addicted. I have bowshot a lot of critters over the years but now I get more of a buzz out of hunting them with the recurve.
