<p>Hey there! This is my first post about archery, so I thought that I could have done a tour of my setup. As I wrote in the about page, I’m a Olmpic recurve archer based in Italy. I do this for almost five years! If you don’t understand everything I say, you can check out the youtube channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/NUSensei/">Nusensei</a>. It’s a very good source, especially for beginners.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/efmap2qqvz6yapn/IMG_20160809_164942.jpg?dl=0" alt="Bow1" /></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Ok, the setup. I own a <em>Fiberbow 5.99</em> LH (yes, I’m left handed) as my <code class="highlighter-rouge">riser</code>, the <em>central</em> part of the bow. It’s made by carbon fiber so it’s very lightweight. And is not painted too: It looks kinda cool. Many experienced archers could complain saying that carbon fiber bends and this is a bad thing. Instead, I think this gives you a nice feedback when you release. Also I tried to raise a friend’s <em>Hoyt Prodigy XT</em>, and there’s no way I’m going to lift such a weight on a regular base. Both the risers mentioned are high-range ones: I got mine 50% off because it wasn’t the latest model and it had some minor ahestetic flaws. Also, this isn’t my first one. In fact, I used to shoot with an Orange SF Premium: great bow for beginners!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>As limbs, I use a pair of <em>EXE College</em> rated at 34 pounds. Since I’m quite tall (limbs and riser toghether make a 70” tall bow), my draw length is around 29.5” and my draw weight is around 38 pounds.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The sight is a <em>Shibuya Dual Click</em>. You can check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZvAnyxazpY">this</a> review by Nusensei (by the way, I knew his channel from this very video).</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>As stabilizers, I use a set of <em>Fiberbow S.3</em> ones with yellow dampeners (for those who know the difference between the colours).</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>As plunger button, I use a <em>EXE</em> one. It’s a middle range one, but it seems very well built and it works fine! Also, I’m not going to spend 90€ for a <code class="highlighter-rouge">Cartel</code> one.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>My current arrows are a set of <em>Easton X7 Eclipse</em> spined at 2213. These are winter alluminium arrows, but since they are cheaper than carbon ones, I bought these as a total replacement of my <em>VAP V6</em> 600. Those, due to form flaws, were 2 inches too short. Oh, and I always used <em>Spin Wings</em> and <em>Elivanes</em>, a stiffer plastic italian replacement.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Here’s an image of the complete bow at the archery range:</p>
