Equipment

Archery is a technical sport - the name of the game is to be absolutely consistent, and the largest part in that process is undoubtably the archer him or herself.  The myriad of equipment that target archery uses are designed to assist the archer in maintaining that level of consistency.

Some things however, cannot be overcome with mere equipment.  If you have bad form, or habits that are hindering your performance, all the equipment in the world will not help. 

So, I figure it is a good idea to post what kind of equipment I am shooting with. 

Here is a quick breakdown of the equipment that I am using in my setup:

Riser: 2011 Hoyt Horizon Riser
Limbs: KAP T-Rex (long) 28 lbs.
Stabilizer: Sebestian Flute Axiom long rod stabilizer, 26"
Rest: Sebestian Flute Premium Arrow rest
Plunger button: Sebestian Flute Axiom cushion plunger
Arrows: Easton Jazz Arrows - 1816 Lite, cut to 30", fletched with feathers
Tips: Field points, 100 Grain

 What do all of you shoot?  Any recommendations you can make for good combinations of equipment?

Welcome!

Hello!

This will make my third attempt to get into blogging.  I like the idea, and have written in some in the past, but I always seem to stop writing them, and they eventually fall by the wayside. 

So, I figure this time, I would use to my blog to write up my "return" to archery as a sport.  I used to shoot competitively in High School, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.  I got bit by the bug again after I watched The Lord of the Rings trilogy on Blu-Ray (great Christmas gift from me to me, btw), and then was compounded after all the recent media attention to archery (The Hunger Games, The Avengers, Disney's Brave).

So, here we are.  I figure I will use this as a personal training diary, writing up my progress and challenges as I try to get myself to the point that I feel like I could compete again. 

Maybe I will stick with this blogging thing, this time, huh?
