I've gotta work on my form if I'm to shoot well as I'm only a beginner archer.
My gear consists of 2 custom long bows, built by Bama Bows. 1 Bamboo "Hunter" model with a 40lb pull @ 29inches & 1 Zebra wood "Elite" model with a 55lb pull @ 29inches.
I chose the traditional style bows because I can build strings myself & string the bow without any special tools. Also, at my age, I didn't think the training wheels were necessary. (poke) Hehe
Damn I need to skin my wrist up!
The compounds are amazingly accurate at long ranges but no fun under 50 yards for me.
Why I got both 40 & 55 lb bows. Hehe
Good luck w that shoulder.
I got an armex 175lb draw crossbow
Heck yeah, I am an archer. I've hit a few 3d shoots but am a hunter.
Currently running a pse decree hd.
If I'm not in my garden I'm screwing around with my archery tackle
I've run hoyt, bear, strother, and pse thus far.
Looking hard at the bowtech mag.
I'm a 30" draw also with bad shoulders. Swapped to lh last year to follow eye dominance n dropped to 60 lbs. Best move ever, don't see myself ever shooting 70 again.
I was raised by a marine. I learned to shoot a rifle with both eyes open n such.
Played hell as a child with sports figuring out what handed I was.
Shot my first 3 years rh with archery gear. Got pretty dang good but couldn't keep up with the pros around here. Freakin expensive move. Archery talk had some bug a year or so back n lost my user info. So now I just buy new, only good thing for us lefties is equipment cheap to buy used. Screwed on resale though. Got to wait 3 months for a new bow too.
Only thing I've found in my life that I could equate to a spiritual connection is when I'm out here chasing elk or in my garden
So I got that that Timberline no peep for my main bow but i want to put a single pin slider on my backup bow and ditch the IQ 5 pin - I hate multi pin sights I've decided. So I need the retina lock part, separated from the rest of the IQ sight. I came to the realisation that the only special part was a small magnifying lens. The rest is non specific really so I got the lens and came up with this using a length of blue fibre, a piece of rubber and a couple of inches of arrow shaft.

Ive figured out how it can attach to the extension part of my sight in just the right place. I can mount it there using lockable ball joint so it can be setup exactly and then locked securely. Ive ordered this one. When it arrives ill for out the rest.
