Welcome Lucas. Archery is not "golf" to America, but an "Archery Golf" game can be played. I doubt if any golf course would allow you to shoot arrows on their grounds, but if you have a suitable area you can set up your own course.

Re: archeryshop.biz is all right to order from them? (7 replies, posted in Bows)
From their website everything is on a "pre-order" basis. So they probably do not have a real "store", and thus no inventory, but order from the companies, as orders come into them. Even if they are legitimate your order will take longer to arrive to you. Unless they were my only source, I would not do business with them, but that's just me.

Yup, they are the exception.
So it IS possible to use a thumb ring that way?

Re: Surprised (8 replies, posted in Technique)
I know very little about thumb ring draw, but I believe the arrow is held against the left side of the bow (right handed shooter) by the pressure of the forefinger, of the draw hand, to the side of the arrow. If you're anchoring low (beneath the arrow) on the left hand side of the bow there is probably no pressure from your forefinger except upward against the arrow, or maybe none at all, which would account for the results you're experiencing. I have often wondered about this myself, having yet to even try shooting the thumb ring. I wouldn't think it has anything to do with how you are holding/griping the bow. This is just my theory and two cents' worth. LOL Will

Re: Heatbox necessary outside of Korea? (13 replies, posted in Bows)
Mule(you have an appripro name) horn bows are different animals. If you don't want the hassle of a heat box then buy a glass/bamboo composite bow and don't worry about it. If you just have to have a true horn bow, then heed the advice of the experts and stop arguing about it.

Re: Need help with broadhead mounting! (1 replies, posted in Arrows)
Zwickies have been around a LONG time. A well-proven broadhead. Don't know of any "tactical" reasons for mounting them one way or the other, but for two "practical" reasons I've always mounted them horizontally. A. Not affected by wind for the first few yards. B. Less likely to slice a finger if you're shooting shorter arrows.
Actually, reason A. is about the only reason I've always mounted them horizontally, but reason B. COULD come into play.

Re: String Twists... (3 replies, posted in Accessories)
Twisting the string to shorten or untwisting to lengthen the string does nothing adversely to affect the limbs, otherwise everyone who shoots a traditional (or compound bow for that matter) would have problems. As anal as some shooters are about tuning their bows this would be a topic of concern, and I have never seen or heard of such a subject. Even if it DID have some affect we most likely, as shooters, would not be able to detect it.
If you are speaking of some other form of twisting the string then the above does not apply.

silentwind, welcome to the forum. I don't know the degrees in Korean archery, but I wish you best of luck. I don't do well in competition either even though I've been shooting for most of my life. Cave under pressure I suppose, but that doesn't bother me as I just love to shoot. Again, welcome aboard!
