Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you use the brass nocking points on the top and bottom of your string?

It adds 4 fps to my arrow speed, it also helps the string to track straighter into the wheel and cam thus giving a cleaner arrow flight.

Why do you have your sight bar all the way out indoors?

For indoors I believe it's important to be able to see the whole of your scope including the housing. For my peep size this is where it must be in order for me to see the housing.

Why do you choose the just b-cuz release over a straight handled one?

If you close your fingers over, as if you where holding a release, you can see that the shape you make is not straight it is curved. That is why I choose a curved handle over a straight one.

I notice that you shoot with a straight arm but not all pros do, why is this?

I choose to have a straight front arm when I shoot as I try where possible to rely on skeletal structure. I support my bow and shot by putting the bones together to make a solid structure. Putting a bend in a joint puts pressure on both sides and relies more heavily on muscle, thus making it more difficult to repeat and perform under pressure.

Your bow has a long axle length compared to others why do you choose this?

I choose the 41inch axle length at the moment because this is what compliments my form best. The string angle means my head is upright and my peep is close and visible. If I were to use a shorter bow then I would need to make concessions on my form such as tipping my head or moving the string placement. This can be acceptable to gain that extra speed but for people learning I would advise an axle length which suits your body size.

Why aluminiums for indoors and not carbons?

The 2315 X7s are matched so well they always shoot great. I really struggle to get the consistency with an all carbon shaft for indoors. The weight tolerances just don't seem as good and they are expensive. I can't see how I could ever improve on an X7 Eclipse.
