Archery Store

In the market for a target for broadheads and field points. The target won’t be left outside. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Hi,

I’m new to archery and also this forum. I did an archery taster session with my daughter in January and then signed up to a six week beginners course at a local club here in the uk – both with my daughter. We were three weeks into the course when (Covid-19) lockdown commenced and the course is on hold.

Having been bitten by the archery bug I recently purchased some used kit from a colleague. I went expecting a basic wooden recurve takedown bow and came back the proud owner of what I’ve since found out is a Hoyt TD4/GM – the wooden takedown turned out to be left handed and therefore no good for me.

I’m loving the Hoyt. The power and performance difference between this and the club bow I used is mind blowing and my first shots bought a massive grin to my face. The limbs are Hoyt CRX short with 38lb draw weight. I would not have picked this high a draw weight given the choice. I was clearly overbowed (and still am, but less so), but have been short of cash to upgrade the limbs that came with the bow. Having trained carefully over the past two weeks to build my strength whilst trying to avoid developing bad habits, I can now shoot 30-60 arrows reasonably comfortably hitting mainly reds with around 1 in 5 golds – 40cm target face at 12 metres.

My current dilemma is, do I continue using the CRX limbs? Or look to replace (with a lower draw weight) when I have enough cash?

I’m struggling to find information about the CRX limbs and would like to explore a comparable alternative. These are ILF limbs. Any suggestions on a currently available alternative with similar performance?

Being budget conscious, SF Axiom + seem to be highly recommended here on this forum, but are no longer commercially available. Any current recommendations for a low cost ILF limb? And if I go for a budget limb, are Dacron strings recommend?

Looking to stay under $ 300. What do you reccomend?

My son has been shooting a Mathews Stoke for a couple years. He’s 11 years old and his height is about 5’2" and his Stoke is starting to look a bit small. He shoots it very well. He competes in S3DA 5 spot, outdoor target, and 3D and does no hunting at all. I think the axle to axle on the Stoke is around 28" and I don’t think he’s quite ready for a much larger bow but is there something comparable to the Stoke at around maybe 30-32"? Although we do like Mathews, we are open to other suggestions as well.

Looking for recommendations on a good archery shop in Indianapolis recently moved to the area and went to a local shop this past weekend I won’t name names. Long story short went there willing to pay a little more for the service of putting the products on a bow and setting it up. Found the product prices to be higher than anywhere else by a long shot and they still charge $ 80 dollars to put them on "tune the bow". There is no incentive to buy from them I’m willing to pay a little more to support the local shop but with a sight cost $ 170 from them and $ 110 from others that is not reasonable.

Long winded way of asking what shops do you all in the Indianapolis area use and are you happy with them?

Need some game camera recommendations .

Hi all,

I am looking to buy some arrows for indoor archery and a seperate set for outdoor (barebow recurve) and am chasing suggestions.
Pulling 30.5 DL
34 pound limbs wound up to a 42 pound draw inclusive of my DL.
32inch arrows as i overdraw initially then settle in at 30.5 inches.

Not on a tight budget or anything, but also don’t want to go as crazy as the Easton X10s.

Please help a fella out 🙂

lets hear what you guys are using. They dont need to be "hunting brands" either
