Ok, i got a lil banshee jr. archery set. don't make fun of me. Now, i can't aim it! I am shooting at targets and i wanna hunt small game like rabbits and squirrels! Please help. and I don't want stupid "tips" i wanna know how to aim it. And if u dont know about archery don't try to answer it.
Aiming without sight is instinctive as noted above, but the one big thing people tend to forget is where the back end of that arrow is at. This is called the archer's anchor, without a solid anchor all the aiming in the world won't help you. So, learn the anchor first, learn proper posture, then learn how to aim.
Without sight, the anchor I'd recommend is tip of the index finger touching the corner of your mouth. This is the easiest one, make sure you always feel the tip of your index finger there before you try aiming.
Stand straight, keep your shoulders low. If you need a sight, make one, it's quite easy, all you need is a pin and a strip of duct tape. The sight will give you a reference point. Put the sight on target shoot a few arrows and watch where they go. If the group of arrows all end up in the same spot, then your form and execution is perfect, all you need then is adjust the sight to make the group hit where the sight was pointed. To adjust the sight, you follow the group of arrows, if they hit low on the target, move the sight low etc.
Archery Stabilizers Does anyone know about how much my archery bow is worth? See details~?
I have a Jennings Micro Carbon Extreme. The stats on the bow say: draw length 20, draw weight 30, and Amo compound string length 49. I only used the bow for target practice (as a child and in junior high/high school) and was very careful with it, so it's in excellent condition. I plan to sell it with the arrows, arrow case, bow case, sight, stabilizer, release, and arm guard (all are also in excellent condition). The bow is about sixteen years old.
Do you have any idea what price I should put on this? I'm going to show it to a guy tomorrow, but I'm clueless what to ask for it.

Thanks for answering, Gerald B. That's a very nice thought. I would donate it, but I could really use the money right now.
Maybe $70.00 to the right buyer buyer but $50.00 is more realistic.Id post it on craigslist at 4100.00 and price it down every few days till it sells.
If I wasnt so broke Id buy it myself for my daughter she outgrew her old bow about a year ago and lost interest. I miss shooting with her.
Goodluck with it.

Bow String Custom Custom sewing a loop on the end of a tow strap?
I'm using a 1500lb. tow strap as a bow string for a home-engineered ballistae; I need to form a loop on both ends of the strap that will fit over the ends of the bow, to be held in place by pins that prevent the loop from slipping. I can't find any vendor who sells an appropriate weight thread or any online documentation of how to form the loop. Any information in this direction would be very helpful.
Thanks!
Find a marina with a good ship's chandler for big sailing boats. Sailmaker's thread comes in grades up to strong enough to hold together 500 square feet of heavy sail in a gale.
A big wet sail can weigh over a hundredwight....force on it can total more than 4000lbs over the whole sail in a Force 8.
You don't want the seams coming apart......strong stuff, that thread.
You use a sailmakers needle with it...an awl with a hole.
Or use bolts and plates.
Metal plates both sides, drilled for the bolts. Tighten the bolts well for a good friction fit when the plates squeeze together.
A square plate as broad as the strap, with the bolts in a triangle is the best way for three bolts. Top of the triangle is towards the loop, with a central bolt a third in from the top edge.
Bottom two bolts are at one third in from both sides, a third in from the bottom edge.
Or use four bolts....third in from top and bottom and both sides to make a square arrangement.
Then you get maximum equality of friction over the whole plate.
Bolts+friction over the plate area gives a big holding strength.
Car clutches, even big heavy truck clutches, work by friction...nothing else.
The force is applied by springs or levers, the friction surfaces do the rest.
Your force is applied by tightening the bolts.
Three 5/8ths Whitworth's steel bolts can hold a ton. Three on the other end is another ton.
Leave a big loop so the sides don't bow out ...no pun intended.
A long thin loop is better than a short fat one....holds it's strength better.
Sail fixings.......search list.

What are the advantages of having a beginning instrumentalist play whole notes?
Suzuki disapproved of the custom of making beginning instrumental students play whole notes.
It is excruciating for both wind students and string students.
Defendants of the practice, on the other hand, say that practicing sustained notes from the beginning develops breath control or bow control, respectively, better than any amount of such practice later in the curriculum.
Have there been any controlled studies?
I don't know of any studies done, but I do believe that long tones are important to all musicians of any level. Perhaps Suzuki didn't care for them much since his method depended on teaching young students by ear mostly, and many young students would get bored quickly with long tones. Suzuki, as far as I know, mainly taught string players, and a lot of the benefits of long tones are for wind players.
Long tones develop breath and bow control as you said, but they can also improve embouchure strength (for winds, I suppose it could improve steady bow grip, if that makes sense), intonation (especially the ability to hold a pitch in tune without wavering in and out), tone quality, vibrato (especially with string players), dynamic contrast (crescendos and decrescendos on a long note with a steady sound), and more. I've been playing for 10 years, and I still do long tones every day.
y the middle pin of the single phase cable is having much dimension than others?
i want reasonable answers
I think you are referring to the usual type of 3-pin plug used in domestic wiring. The centre pin is the earth connection and is bigger so that it cannot be inserted (accidentally or otherwise) into either of the other holes in the socket where it would make contact with the current-carrying parts. It is also longer so that the earth connection is made before those that carry the electric current. This makes sure that the fuse will blow if there is an earth leakage fault to protect the person inserting the plug.
