    Stick Bows

    Depending on the type of design,speeds can vary.Most likely anywhere from 160-190 is pretty much normal.Ranges are up to the archer.If your accuracy drops after 15yds...keep your shots under 15yds.I shoot carbons and aluminums off my recurves and longbows...mostly carbons,with 125gr Stingers.I also prefer a leather-faced tab.Some shooters like gloves.I feel I get a better release with a tab. Form is very important also.A good consistant anchor,release and follow-thru will lead to accuracy It's also ok to leave your bow strung IF it's a glass-backed bow.If it's just a solid wood bow with no fiberglass or laminations,unstring it after your done shooting
  19. I carry a Springfield Ultra compact .45acp.Best carry weapon I ever owned
  20. You'll need a 65" string.I could make you one but I might not be able to put serving on it.My longest longbow is only 66".I could try to serve it on the 66" bow,though
  21. Fast flite and dacron are string materials.You shouldn't use FF if your bow isn't rated for it..it can damage it.The length should be written on the bow..it's usually by the poundage.It's important to know the length so you can get the proper sized string made for it

  23. What length is your bow,what's the poundage,and is it fast-flight capable or dacron?
