Archery Store

Just wanted to drop in and say Hi. I used to be a fairly active member and regularly shoot field. Then I had kids and life just got in the way….

I was in the shed the other day and saw my bow sitting there and got the urge to shoot again so I went to my local club and signed up again.

I have forgotten almost everything about archery so will most likely harass you guys a lot. My apologies in advance. Hopefully it will all come streaming back though.

I have a old roughly 2006 Hoyt ProTec with XT400 limbs. I reckon it had probably a months use before it was hung up. It has been sitting there idle for so long. I shoot field barebow, fingers. I assume although the string looks perfectly sound that I should invest in a new string and cables? Anything else I should do before I get stuck into it?

I will also need some new arrows and would like some recommendations. I have shot various arrows over time from cheap alloys and carbons to ACE’s when I was shooting well. I have a half dozen old Easton Redlines that I am going to start off with, and probably break, but will need to invest in a doz descent arrows sooner or later.

Any thought or recommendations would be much appreciated. Or just say Hi 🙂 Oh, and I’m an Aussie btw

I was viewing levi on youtube talk about a couple of back tension releases. he was talking about you set the tru fire sear w/ clicks….. what does he mean clicks.(adjustable clicks???) I think iam going to try either the longhorn or the new sear. I have been shooting triggers for almost 25 yrs w/ almost no trouble until very recently so iam going to back tension release

Trying to find some old threads to retrieve pictures and it seems the search function will no longer bring them up.

I’ve never shot a back tension release but I would love to give it a try I think it would improve my form and it would also improve my grouping. Problem is there are so many choices it’s not even funny. 2 3 and 4 finger. I have no idea what I would feel more comfortable with. My local pro shop doesn’t have a big selection well hardly has any selection. Are there any big box stores who has them that’ll let you try them out such as cableas? I have one roughtly an hour and half away. Or have any suggestions on what one to choose without testing, I know everyone’s preference is different. I’m 26-26.5 draw length and I have smaller hands/fingers. I wear medium gloves if that’s a reference for anyone. I see brand new prices are pretty high and I don’t want to blow 200 bucks on one that’s not comfortable to me. I see a bunch on classified listings but I’m not sure on the 2 3 or 4 finger.
