Archery Sights
Archery Anyone????suggestions needed and informative tips ON improving accuracy??
new to the sport and I practice shooting about 3-4 times a week with fieldpoints. archery pro shops are clueless and only want to make a sale. please advise.
what broadheads do you suggest??? (mechanical or fixed blade)Why???
what sights do you suggest??( single pin, 3-pin or pendulum)
any other suggestions to improve accuracy or general infomation
First: make sure your equipment is suitable for what you want to use it for (if all you want to do is target archery, broadheads are not what you want - or need; if you intend to hunt only "varmints", you don't need a 70# bow to kill a rabbit or squirrel - and you don't need a broadhead for that, either, a blunt is enough if the shot is placed correctly).
Second: you do need arrows that are matched as closely as you can get them, regardless what anyone might say. If you have arrows that are of varying lengths/weights/stiffness/etc, you will NEVER improve in accuracy -- no matter how much you practice. Those arrows will simply go wherever they want to go because of their flight characteristics, no matter how "accurate" you may think yourself to be (it's the physics, dummie)(No, I'm not calling you a dummie, "xenicintelligence". It's meant for those who refuse to acknowledge the effect of physics on arrow flight dynamics and think that it doesn't matter whether a set of arrows is matched...). And if the arrows are not made specifically for your bow AND your draw-length AND your intended use, they are not going to perform as well as they should -- and they could very well be dangerous to yourself and those around you (I have seen what can happen to someone and/or their bow when their arrows are too weak: The arrow shatters/folds on release, the results of which are not pretty and it is NOT just because the arrow is "old" - I have seen new arrows do it too many times to think that); a too-short arrow can (and very often does) result in a ruined bow: I have seen a few bows with a hole in the wood/fibreglass laminate handle section, because the arrow was too short for the draw-length of the archer using the bow and was driven through the bow (released immediately upon reaching anchor) -- and they were all under 45# draw-weight bows. Just imagine what that would do to your arm...or someone else's arm or body.
Third: make sure your "form" (the actual "how", the method, of what you do) is consistent. Inconsistency in form leads to inaccuracy, every time. If your release is different each time, the arrow flies differently every time as well; if you hold the bow differently each time, etc, etc. By the way...the elbow of your "string" arm (the one doing the pulling) should optimally be **level** with the arrow, so that the hand/wrist/forearm combination is **in line with** the arrrow, even if you use a mechanical release aid; if the elbow is too high or too low, you risk an inconsistent release -- and "too high/too low" is often a matter of millimeters. You don't need a mechanical release aid if your release is smooth and relaxed; if you jerk or otherwise move the string hand during release, accuracy suffers. It doesn't matter very much where you choose to anchor, either -- as long as it is a solid anchor and not "drifting" from shot to shot (if you anchor on your face, pick a spot that does not move when you smile/grimace/frown/scowl/etc - a change in anchor-point equates a change in draw-length, and a change in draw-length means a change in accuracy); it depends on what you are comfortable with and what actually works for you, individually, as does every aspect of your form. Don't constantly move from one method to another, either; give a new method a chance to show whether it is "right" or "wrong" for you -- YOU have to learn and get used to the new method before it can work. Consistency is extremely important for accuracy.
If you need broadheads, get the fixed-blade type; "open-on-impact" broadheads actually impede the arrow's ability to penetrate the target. Make sure the broadhead is ****sharp**** and the cutting edges are intact before you use it; a dull broadhead is as useless as an "open-on-impact" broadhead. And if the blade is sharp and intact, it doesn't matter if it is a "solid" blade or a "cut-out" blade (although the "cut-out" blade will tend to "grab" the flesh of the animal and impede penetration...); if the arrow is properly made for its intended use, balanced correctly and has adequate fletching, it will fly true so long as your accuracy is not off. If "planing" is of any concern, simply use straight-fletching (although even this will impart some spin to the arrow if you use natural feathers. it has to do with the structure of natural feathers).
Since I don't use sights, there is nothing I can give as far as advice about them -- except that you can become overly-dependent on them. What will you do when the shot requires holding the bow at an "odd" angle and the pins are out of alignment? Most pin-sights are designed to be used with a vertically-held bow, where the bottom limb-tip is directly below the top limb-tip.......
