Sanlida Dragon x8 is a compound bow which is difficult to compare with other bows, as it definitely has better price, while having a fairly high class. Nevertheless, it cannot be considered as a main bow, because its quality is still at the low level. This bow will be perfect for beginners to try and to find out if they like it. What is good, it can be easily dropped to almost zero, and in future, even a child will learn how to shoot. The limbs are of Gordon composite and the riser is press molded (typical for most top bows). The riser does not even have molded seams, which suggests that it has succumbed to additional milling. Nevertheless, it is a budget option. The grip is comfortable, fits well in the hand. The maximum stretch is 31 inches, but in fact it is 30.5 Very good pockets, there is a floating limbs support. The cams are as simple Читать дальше...

Because a person has a mess in his things, and he does not know where everything lies! How do you carry everyday things? Keys, wallet, phone, etc.? I have a specific system. Something in my pockets, something in my backpack, something in my handbag over the shoulder. I apologize, I have already refused to wear it. Why am I talking about it?

Aiming 0
Lets talk about bow aiming Aiming with a bow and arrow - is what Olympic and avarage archers do, which is commonly known as "takeaway" aiming. They pull the arrow to a certain "anchor point" and then aim with the arrowhead so that they have a "break". For instance, at a distance of 20 meters, and in case it is aiming not at the center, then the arrow will still hit the center. If the target is lower, you need to calculate how much lower you need to aim, and with a distant location - how much higher. That is aiming with the help of some kind of equipment: either the tip or the hands. And we just don't aim - we point at the camera lens, not "aim at the camera lens." Let`s imagine, for example, you have a Mediterranean grip. You pull the string to the corner of your mouth and aim with the help of your right Читать дальше...

Bowstring: top and bottom – how to... 0
Very often, many archers (especially beginners) have a little difficulty installing the bowstring on the bow - where are its top and bottom? If the string is stored directly on the bow, secured with a string keeper, such questions usually do not arise, since the string is already in the right position to be installed on the bow. But this is not always the case. Most often this happens when the string is stored separately from the bow (this is especially true for folding bows such as the Hunter Bow). There are some simple ways to quickly and easily identify the top and bottom of the string before attaching it to the bow. One of the easiest ways is to determine by the center serving of the bowstring. Most often, the central serving of the bowstring is slightly offset upward relative to the geometric center of the bowstring. Another similar method is by using the nocking points used for the Читать дальше...
