Tune up! Outdoor Equipment! 
(Sunday: check around back-we may be outside!) Bring portable chairs!

 Most of the tournaments now shift to outdoors. What does that mean for equipment?
Could mean quite a lot, particularly if you are going for a 70 or 90 meter distance. Arrows and draw weight of the limbs on a recurve typically change if competing outdoors. There is no real need for heavy draw weight on limbs indoors as the distance is only 18 meters to 20 yards and there are no weather elements to battle. Indoors, a “fat” arrow is preferred , often called line-cutters, meaning they are fatter so they can break the line of the next higher scoring ring, versus a skinny arrow that, if landing in the same hole, could be one point less. Indoor arrows with three or four  4” feathers add stability and correction-no wind or rain to beat the arrows around indoors.

Outdoors the skinny carbons and spin wing vanes can provide less wind interference and better long distance flight, and when coupled  with heavier limbs, can make a big difference in getting to the further distances. Some champion Archers keep their set up the same indoors or out - good results are good results! When changing weight of limbs or changing arrows for outdoors, several factors can be considered in the set-up including arrow rest, plunger, spine of the arrow, arrow nock type, vanes, string strands, etc. Saturday and Sunday, we will do some bare shaft testing and review a set up change, and practice the “set to set-up” keeping the draw elbow inside the arrow line, and continue the focus on that elbows movement at release.We will also revisit the draw length check for those interested.


Please arrive a few minutes early to gear up and check in.
