Archery tip of the day

When your feather fletchings become tired and a bit grubby you can revitalise them by holding the fletchings over a boiling kettle spout. The steam pops the barbs together again and the feathers will spring back to shape.

Number your arrows so you can tell which ones perform or fly better.

You can never have enough Beeswax.

If your Bow is noisy try adjusting the "Brace Height" up and down, this generally sorts it out. If not buy "string Silencers".

LEARN TO MAKE STRINGS: Often overlooked but has enormous effect on how your Bow shoots. It doesn't take long to learn the techniques and the results with a bit of practise are far superior to mass produced strings.
