Hey! I've been really interested in getting into archery and maybe some hunting down the line. I'm looking for my first compound bow to start practicing and was hoping for some recommendations.

My budget is around $400. Appreciate any advice as well. Thank you!

Hello, everyone. I'm getting frustrated with learning how to shoot surprise shots. I use a thumb release, and my bow and trigger have been set up (tuned?) by professional instructors.

They told me (along with Youtube guides,) that I'm supposed to wrap my thumb around the trigger, aim, and just keep pulling on the bow until it fires, without punching the trigger.

I do that, but nothing happens. Unless I apply some pressure on the trigger, I end up standing there like an idiot, pulling on the bow, and losing a lot of energy from that, as well as from carrying the bow for so long.

I know there's nothing wrong with the way the bow is set up. So, what could I be doing wrong? Am I not pulling hard enough? And why is the thumb release designed with a trigger if you're not supposed to use it??

Help!

(I’m still really new, so sorry if it’s a stupid question)

Hi everyone. I’m considering to get a Mathews title but I’m not sure if the bow press we have at the club can work for it. Before continuing I have to specify that I don’t have any proshop close to me. We have a Last Chance Archery press with the aluminium pin of 2,5” I know that for the MFS is required a pin of 3”.

Someone on my same situation have tried to use normal fingers and the same length of pin?

MFS are advised but I’ve seen also Ace Coleman using the normal fingers. I just don’t know if maybe the limbs of the title are too big for the small pin.

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone. I’m currently shooting a PSE perform X. I’m getting extremely good results. But I’m not feeling completely satisfied by the bow so I’m looking to buy a new Concept X or a Mathew Title. Both this bows have pros and cons based on my needs, I’m trying to ask you a feedback from shooters with experience behind this two bows to understand how is the experience after the first month. In particular I’m interested in

Feedback from the shot Forgiveness Customisation Adaptability to the shooter

Personally what I’m struggling is the weight of the bow cause I’d like to increase my shooting time And the missing of a feedback from the bow

Thanks everyone for help

Got a new Species XT RTH for Christmas, and bought my first upgrade! TR Hitman 12” stab. I thought 12” was going to look weird but I love it! I want to get a sight next. Any recommendations under $200?

I just noticed that the string is sitting crooked on the idler wheel. I haven’t noticed any weird sounds or feelings while shooting. Should I take it into the pro shop and have them take a look? Sorry for the crappy quality photo. If it matters, it’s a Matthews Z70 Single Cam.

Thank you!

Hi all! I need a new case for a 40” super focus XL. Any ideas or recommendations?

Looking to get into target shooting, maybe hunting. I went to my local archery shop and got measured. I’m 6ft3 with a 31.5” arm span, they recommend a 33” bow. But then proceeded to try and sell me a $1,100 Mathews Lift 33 plus all the extra things to go with that. But as someone just getting into this hobby, I’m not really looking to jump in the deep end just yet. Is there a cheaper option for a 33” under $1,000 for a full setup? Thanks

I live.in key west fl.and I'm headed to the Miami area this weekend to do a little shopping and looking for any recommendations on a range or.shop. I wouls would like to get my bow tuned.

So I got a bear species and a hha optimizer light for Christmas but I can’t get it sighted in for 20 yards my bow is on around 50# with 100 grain tips on them and it still shoots low I don’t know what to do

My son is into competition archery, currently using my old Diamond hunting bow (due to its draw length being able to adjust down to 20").

Are there any target bows out there that have draw lengths adjustable down to the 20" range?

I've noticed when shooting with elevation i have some major left to right variance (mostly down hill shots) is there a reason for that other than what is probably bad form? I'm only a few months into my first bow BTW.

Hi, I have a 12 year old set of draw string and 4 cables (VaporTrail) that I would like to replace the 20 yo set on the bow with. Can the unused set still be used or is it too old? The unused set was stored dry and dark and is still inside the original bags, unopened, and isn't creased.

EDIT: The unused set was bought for the bow but never installed.

Hello Looking to buy my first compound bow, but need some advice. Don't have any bow shops/clubs nearby, so I'm trying to all my research online😂

Store selections is somewhat limited here (compared to other countries), and I'm on a budget🙂

The bow will be used for target practice, hobby and maybe hunting down the line (when/if it gets legal). Mostly into pistol and long range shooting, so this will be a new experience.

I'm looking at these bows, and have been researching them all over reddit/YouTube/web for the past month.

Got any advice on which of these that is the most bang for the bucks, decent quality?

-PSE stinger atk -Bear legend XR 2023 -PSE drive NXT -Diamond edge max

A little about me: Past 40 years Normally buildt Ex-military About 1.70cm high

Best regards from north of Scandinavia 😎

Hey everyone I want to get in to archery but I don’t wanna go over board with spending on my first bow bass pro a a cheap bow with ok reviews can I a live opinion b4 I purchase

Hello everyone, I was just given an older 2nd hand compound bow as my first bow, it's a PSE team fitzgerald compound bow, I know it's one of PSE's older/cheaper models and it needs quite a bit of updates (like cables, bowstring, peep sight, d-loop) my question is, is it worth spending all that money on it? Or am I better off just buying a newer one in better condition?? Thanks for the help!

Does anyone know of a website that allows full customization of a compound bow? And I mean fully customized from color of the riser, cams, strings.. everything..

Thanks you in advance
