1. Comment. Recurve shooting was killing my fingers - a lot of numbness lasting for days after shooting. Today, *doubled up* with *both* glove and tab - much more comfortable - gonna hunt with a tab, no glove, but this makes practice infinitely more enjoyable.
2. Question. Do brush buttons have ANY silencing effect? Yes, I know they keep brush out of the limbs, but in addition to that, do they add ANY silencing effect to go along and help the string silencers?
3. Question: *All other things being equal*, does a 2-blade fixed broadhead tend to fly more true to point of aim than a 4-blade fixed broadhead? Again, all other things being equal.... I was just shooting some Satellite archery 4-bladers, and they were impacting all over the place - you could see them veer off in flight - mostly low and to the right, but sometimes they'd fly *true* to the field points, so there's no way for me to dial in with them. I've been recommended Eastman Outdoors 2-blade 125s. I want a 125 gr fixed broadhead that will fly the closest to field points - can be 2, 3, or 4 blade - doesn't matter.
4. Question: Does anyone else use this or a similar system for broadheads. Buy, say 6, and then designate 3 for practice with a broadhead target by covering the practice broadheads in fingernail polish all over it, for quick identification? Don't worry about keeping them sharp; just set the other 3 aside and keep sharp for hunting.
Thanks. This recurve game is a whole lot different than the compound game - more different that I had expected. No sights, no let-off, no release. Harder to find arrows your bow likes. Due to the lower power, I don't trust mechanicals. Etc., etc.
