Bogentandler News : Tips & Tricks
We would like to give you a brief insight into our work - we cut countless carbon shafts and arrows every day, because this is something you can't do at home without the necessary tools. But having your own arrow cutting machine is not cost-effective for everyone, which is why we offer professional cuts. Each cut is sanded flat on the edge and then deburred. So that our customers don't lose any precision!
In the following video, Elli shows you how to assemble a beginner's recurve bow with screw fittings, how to string and unstring it and how to disassemble it again. It is essential that a recurve bow is strung with a suitable stringing aid, as this is the only way to prevent damage to the limbs. The video also explains how to distinguish between the upper and lower limbs, even if the limbs are not labelled accordingly. The video is completed by a brief explanation of the brace height and how to change it, as well as a short lesson on unstringing the bow.
We regularly receive questions from our customers who need bows for themselves or their children. We often receive nothing more than the age and height, sometimes also information about the physical condition of the recipient. Please bear in mind: probably nobody knows the new shooter less than we do :-) If it were possible to accurately select a bow based on a table of body size and age, then of course that would help us a lot. But in practice it doesn't work like that, there are a lot of uncertainty factors. Children and adults develop differently and a key factor in determining the bow length is the shooter's personal draw (draw length). This is rarely known. The size of the hands should...
The battery is supplied loose with the scale - if the battery compartment is unscrewed and the enclosed battery is inserted, the scale may not work. This is because the contact flags both press on the same pole of the battery instead of one touching the positive pole and the other the negative pole. Using a pointed object, bend one of the flags so that it touches the battery on the underside and the other flag so that it touches the battery on the side. If the battery is then inserted and the battery compartment closed with the four small screws, the scale will fulfil its function.
