Hi All
Some of you maybe aware that Merlin Archery have a YouTube site which runs a series of reviews of bows and other equipment.
Here is the review of the win&win RC17 . It is worth looking at along, with other reviews that are on the site.
Please note I have no connection with Merlin Archery other than buying kit off them time to time. I just think that they produce some good reviews.
As always thanks for reading.
Very good posting from a very useful and informative site on the issue some archers can experience of numb fingers and methods to avoid damaging yourself.
I first experienced numbness and tingling in my fingers while shooting barebow with a thin Damascus glove. The numbness didn’t go away, so after dealing with non-feeling fingers for a while I tried a bit of medical tape around the affected fingers in addition to the glove.
The tape worked but was a chore because I had to apply it every time I picked up a bow. I also had to be precise with how much tape I put on, as varying amounts affected my shots differently.

My old club chairman from Black Arrow has contacted me about a theft from a midlands based club and I thought I would try and raise peoples awareness of it here.
Burton Bridge Archers, Burton-on-Trent, have had their club house / storage locker broken in and all our beginners bows, arrows, tabs and arm guards had been stolen. Some 60+ bows (including 6 compounds and several lightweight longbows kindly made and donated by their club chairman) .
Please could you pass this on to any clubs you are involved with, especially those in the midlands area of the UK. So they can be on the lookout for second hand equipment suddenly appearing for sale (mainly used wooden riser trainer recurves). My guess is it will appear on eBay or car boot sales.
I wish them all the luck in finding those responsible.
Thanks for reading.
