Think these are very useful videos for any archer wanting to improve. Thanks for posting and sharing.

I found mention of the following videos, in Archery Talk, an online archery forum.These videos are on the Archery GB website, which is the official website for archery in Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The videos are meant for coaches working with intermediate archers, but are really good for any motivated archer looking to improve, I found them to be clear, to the point and well illustrated. Find the link below:

Longlife Squirrel Blitz…

Not a very serious posting today, but something I hope you will find funny.

Fellow blogger and archer Wolfie has done a very funny YouTube video review of Bearpaw 3D squirrel target. It had me in stitches and thought it worth sharing.

You can check out more of his videos on line here http://www.youtube.com/user/Wolfiesairbrush?feature=watch

I wonder if it was inspired by this which I’m not sure is a real trailer or enough spoof of a Squirrel Horror movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7U2aVUAqPI

Anyway nice one Wolfie.

Thanks for reading.

Achery Adventures video – left and right feathers

A friend recently posted a link on their Facebook page liking this site Archery Adventures  so I thought I’d have a look at their YouTube site  The site has a collection of videos on different topics, including tips, equipment reviews, etc. I haven’t watched all the videos,  but one of the videos they have is on identifying left and right wing feather fletchings.
Great idea and something I sometimes get asked by students along with, why it matters?
Well you want the same wing right or left on the 3 fletchings as they each have a natural slight curve which causes spin in the arrow resulting in stabilising it’s flight. If you have say two right and one left then the air flow isn’t even and you can have an issue with the arrow not stabilising in flight.
Check out the site and let me or them know what you think.
Thanks for reading.
