I need enlightenment.

Leaving your bow strung

I have just had a call from a good friend and he said a bowyer in his local area (who he is looking to buy a bow off) told him to leave his recurve strung. There was a senior member from their club there as well and he agreed !! Please correct me but I was always told to take the string off my curve...

I have been painting it all on with my crester and I think that it is time to start dipping. I have already made my dipping tubes and am ready to go. I am also after some feath...

nock height

When you change from split fingers to 3 under is there any need to change your nock height.
It may seem like a strange question but with 3 under would you be putting more weight on the lower limb and less on the top limb changing the nock height. ??
Just a thought.

Re: Eye Dominance from bow shooting to camera shooting

You were probably taught on a right handed rifle or bow so it was the only way you knew hence its the norm but no one handed you a camera that could only be used with your right eye so you automatically went to your dominant eye.
