So I finally managed to get my pictures up. The picture on top is that of my first bow and the bottom picture is of my second bow. Both bows have extra attachments on them. The stabilizer is the attachment on the front a little to the bottom. Normally the bow is top heavy due to the positioning of the grip which is located a little below the center and the added target sight attachment gives it more weight on top. This causes the bow to lean back on the top after it is released from a full draw and this disrupts the travel path of the arrow. The stabilizer allows the bow to lean forward after it is release from a full draw making the arrow fly more accurately. The arrows I use are 26 inch carbon fiber shafts with a 100 gram iron tip. There is two kinds of fletching or tails I use on the arrows, long fletching for long shots and short fletching for straight shots. I use carbon fiber because it is stronger than aluminum and it is just as light in weight in my opinion since it doesn't break as often. I used aluminum arrows before and it broke a lot more often than I liked.
Hi everyone, I like to first start out by saying this is my first blog and that I am not a blogger so don't expect much from it. This blog will mainly be about my experiences in archery. I actually been doing this for 2 years now and I try to go to the archery range once every week to practice.
