Ultra-nok positioning?

I shoot a QAD drop away rest and just got an "ultra-nok". The guy at the archery shop has my d-loop a little high. Should I set the noking point with the ultra-nok high or level?

When you change something on your bow, you need to check the tune on everything. Go to this link to get an idea on how it is done. Forget the entire paper tuning part and go to the bare shaft method that is farther down the link.It is the best way to get perfect arrow flight that will result in better penetration on deer-

Archery Bow Hunting

Archery Bow Hunting

Nowadays, archery is still enjoyed extensively for recreational target shooting, competitive and tournament shooting, and hunting, as well as bowfishing. Archery bow fishing is a fun and interesting alternative to standard rod & reel fishing for bringing in the big ones, and not so big ones.

Among the species you can bowfish for would include Buffalo, Drum, Catfish, Carp, and Gar for freshwater, and Redfish, Flounder, Shark, Barracuda, and Sheepshead for saltwater. Also, Frog is a good candidate for bowfishing. If you haven't tasted frog legs yet, you don't know what you're missing. You should always check with local authorities to be sure what the bowfishing regulations are.

Bowfishing is best done at close range between 5 and 15 feet for best success. However, depending on your expertise, you can try a longer shot. One thing to remember is that water bends light and a fish underwater is not quite where it looks. If you're shooting from a point above the waterline, you should aim slightly below your intended target.

Traditional archery bows as well as compound bows and crossbows can be used for fishing by mounting a reel of sorts to your bow with an adaptor.

Among the different types of reels would be a "hand wrap reel" where you manually wrap the fishing line around a spool that includes a slot or catch for holding the line in place until you're ready to shoot. With this type of reel, you'll have to pull your fish in by the line, hand over hand. This would be the least expensive of the bowfishing reels and can be handmade.

Spincast reels are also popular for bowfishing in that you can reel your fish in and be ready to shoot again. You'll want a spincast reel with a larger string mouth opening that will better facilitate the line peeling out when the arrow is shot.

Another reel would be a retriever reel which has a container to hold the line in place. This reel also has a crank to retrieve the line. This would be among the most expensive bowfishing reels and can be used for larger fish.

A fishing arrow usually has no fletchings and is of a strong material such as fiberglass, solid aluminum, or solid carbon composites that will withstand strenuous conditions. Hardwood arrows, such as oak or hickory, and bamboo can also be used. Longer arrows up to 34", or even longer, are best. The fishing tip of the arrow should have a wide barb or hardened -V- wire for holding the fish on while retrieving and should be removable for ease in removing the arrow afterwards. Multiple prong tips are also used on fishing arrows.

A braided Dacron fishing line of at least 80 pound test would be best, although other lines can be used such as heavier monofilament, spectra, or braided nylon. It's best to attach the line to a slide mechanism which is attached to the arrow rather than attaching the line directly and near the tip of the arrow. When the arrow is shot, the slide mechanism will slide up toward the rear of the arrow. This method is safer, and easier to retrieve your catch.

When acquiring a longbow, you will want to know what your draw strength and weight are. You can find out this information if you are unaware, by seeking out an experienced archer to help determine them conclusively. Longbows are very large. Most tournament longbows weight around sixty pounds and models from medieval times weighed up to as much as seventy-five pounds. Unless you have an incredible amount of strength in your arm, or are extremely experienced, you'll want to begin with a longbow that weighs much less, for example one that weights anywhere from twenty to thirty pounds. They are also often custom made.

The media has played a huge part in contributing to the ignorance of people in their reasons for wanting to own a longbow. Much like in movies, people think they they will look cool simply holding or displaying a longbow without ever really knowing how to shoot it. If you purchase a longbow it should be for the right reasons. You should either be an already experienced shooter, or have some desire to become one. If you are truly serious about archery and longbows, you will want to start taking lessons to help you get on your way to becoming an expert archer and longbow operator.

Since there are many different kinds of bows one can use for the longbow, it can be difficult for the novice to decide. Before you decide on a certain bow, it is important to talk to archers who have more experience, as well as looking through catalogs that offer an assortment of them. Like with the longbow itself, it all comes down to how much you are willing to spend. The longbow as well as the arrows are only as good as they are expensive, which is an unfortunate yet necessary evil in archery. If you are willing to spend a good amount of money on arrows, you can get them specially designed for your unique sense of style and design. But remember that buying cheap arrows usually means inferior shooting to that of more pricey ones.

It is also imperative to treat your longbow with care, just as you would your own body. Mind its string, so as to prevent fraying. Always keep an extra string on hand, as well as remembering to change it annually, even if the condition of the string seems to be brand new, it still needs to be changed. When shooting in rainy weather, always remember to towel off your longbow and polish it regularly to give it that shiny new look.

Archery Fitness And Health

Stretching is important before and after shooting a bow. The following stretching exercises will prevent damage to muscles, tendons and joints, and increase flexibility. Always remember not to hold your breath while doing any of these exercises. As each exercise is done your muscles will require more oxygen, so breathing and heart rate will increase. The following exercises can be used before and after you participate in an archery activity:

Loosening upper arm and chest muscles: Interlock your fingers with palms out. Extend arms above head, keeping fingers interlocked. Stretch upwards and hold for 10 seconds.

Loosening back muscles: Cross arms in front of chest and place behind shoulders. Slowly stretch hands towards middle of back, as far as you can. Hold for 10 seconds.

Loosening chest, top of shoulders, and lower arm muscles: Bend one arm over head and down back, bend other arm around and up back. Grasp finger tips and hold for 10 seconds. Then reverse arms and hold for 10 seconds.

Loosening shoulders and back muscles: Lock fingers together, extend arms and twist slowly as far as possible to the right and hold for 10 seconds. Then twist slowly to the left and hold for 10 seconds. Do this move SLOWLY, sudden twisting can injure backbone joints.

Loosening neck and upper shoulder muscles: From a normal standing position with arms at sides, raise up both shoulders towards neck as high as you can, then move shoulders forward, then back. Do this exercise for 10 seconds.

Loosening back and shoulder muscles: Use a length of rubber banding (resistance band). Grasp each end, raise arms to shoulder height and extend- keeping elbows straight- outwards and backwards by squeezing shoulder blades together. Hold for 10 seconds and repeat about 6 times.

Loosening shoulder muscles: Again use rubber banding. Grasp each end, raise one arm above head and the other arm level with shoulder. Pull down with arm and hold for 10 seconds, repeat 6 times. Then switch arm position and repeat exercise.

Loosening chest and shoulder muscles: Again using rubber banding, grasp each end behind back. Hold arms at shoulder level, then pull arms forward to stretch the banding. Hold for 10 seconds, repeat 6 times.

Loosening shooting muscles: Using the rubber banding, tie it in a loop and imitate the shooting draw. Hold for 10 seconds, repeat 6 times. Repeat exercise with opposite arm, to balance muscle movement.

When using strength training, the muscle groups used in archery where strength is needed are:

Upper Back and Shoulder Muscles - to draw the bow

Upper and Lower Shoulder Muscles - to control the bow

Arm Muscles - to extend the bow arm

Finger muscles - to hold the bowstring

Upper and Lower Leg Muscles - to control balance

Lower Back and Waist Muscles - to control a steady stance

To exercise these muscles you should use specific movement exercises. A resistance band, as used in the stretching exercises, is a great way to build strength. You can always tie a resistance band to a closed door handle, standing with one close to the door, grab the band with the opposite arm and stretch across the body. Another great exercise for gaining arm strength is again tying the band to a closed door. Stand with your back facing the door, grasp the band at the end- holding it over the shoulder, and stretch arm outwards. Remember when doing any exercise to keep your back straight by holding in your stomach muscles, and keep knees slightly bent.

To strengthen leg muscles, all you need is your own body weight. Standing with feet should length apart, squat downwards in controlled movements. Make sure that when you squat down, your knees are not extending your ankles- if they are, you should bring your stance in a little closer. Another great leg exercise is the half-squat. For this exercise, stand with feet together, keeping knees slightly bent, push your pelvis towards the opposite wall, squat downwards putting your weight into your heels.

For the lower leg muscles, stand with feet together, with one leg slighty behind the other, and hands on your hips. Always remember to keep stomach muscles in tight, for a straight back, and keep your knees slightly bent. Now, with one leg, bend backwards towards your back at the knee. Concentrate on squeezing the leg muscles as you bring the leg up and down, keep your toes pointed towards the opposite wall, briefly touching them on the floor before bringing curling leg up again. Do about 10 of these - in two sets, and then switch legs.

You should always stretch before an archery activity, and before any muscle strengthening exercises, as to avoid any possible injury. If you do the strengthening and stretching exercises regularly, you will increase your flexibility and your muscle strength. For more examples on specific movement exercises, a simple search on the internet will provide you with plenty of different exercises. Just remember that archery is a physical sport and being in fit condition will help you to participate safely.
