Archery

[V98]

Probably time to have a section dedicated to archery!

In the meantime I bought a recurve bow here on the forum and it came with some Hunter 5575/400 arrows.

I understand the “400” refers to the stiffness of the spine.

My question is this: Are arrow tips all the same spline, thread and size? Can I buy arrow tips and have confidence they’ll screw into the ends of the arrows I have?

Brand new to this. Learning on the fly. Thanks in advance for a little patience!

@V98, this might get more traction in the hunting and fishing section. Lots of info on traditional archery from guys that hunt that method. I can move it if you want.

Most broad heads and field tips will just thread into the arrow if the threaded female insert is in obviously. I know you can get weighted adapters to add some weight to a tip. Not sure if it changes thread size.

That would be great! I’m definitely a novice. Thanks.

All threads as long as I’ve been into shooting bows have the same threads. Now field points can vary by diameter to match, or get close to your shaft size.

I'm familiar with hand held bows and what's stated above is correct. Some arrows have different shafts diameters thus your field tips may not be smooth where screwed into arrow.

Are the arrows fletched correctly for the rest? What part of OK you in? Might could meet up for some pointers and fling a few arrows.

Outdoor Oklahoma in yesterdays edition reported that the upgrades to the gun range at Kaw WMA will incorporate an archery tower, for hunters.

I bought the complete set up. It is a 58” PSE Talon take down. 40lb pull weight. I mainly bought it to enjoy with my grandson.

He wants to be a bow hunter like his Dad. I’m just looking to find common ground with him.

Now my knowledge of archery ends if not talking compound bows so if this is an ignorant question I apologize, but with recurve do you use a mechanical release or just those finger rollers?

 

[V98]

I’ll use a finger roller. I haven’t shot it yet so my thoughts may change once I do!
