Greetings from Colorado! For my 70th birthday, my wife gave me a 3 hour session w/ Tom Clum, Sr of Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear. I shot a bunch of different bows while Tom did a shot analysis. He recommended a 19” Satori w/ Uukha Gobi mediums for a 62” bow. Tom tested the entire Uukha line and explained that the Gobi’s shoot w/in 5 fps of the Selengas. I also had a lesson and Tom fit the bow for me and tuned it. Until I shot this bow, I subscribed to the bromide “it’s the archer and not the bow.” I now understand that an archer can limited him/her self by not taking advantage of good equipment. The Uukha limb design is not only smooth, it eliminates a lot of stacking. Try shooting a Samick Sage or similar recurve then shooting Uukha limbs and you will see what I mean. Somewhat off topic, but I have to mention, my wife, a massage therapist, highly recommends protecting the ears when outside. she approves of your headband! Keep shooting and yes - more videos please!
Thank you. That's so awesome you got to experience a lesson with Tom Clum. I am a student of the online Solid Archery Mechanics course myself. I'm going ETAR this year an I hope I see Mr Clum there. The Archer in my opinion accounts for most of the shot, as a good archer can shoot a beginner bow very well, and I've seen people with good bows that they shoot very badly. But I agree that equipment does matter and plays a big part, but the Archer is the bottom of the tuning pyramid. As for the headband, I always wear a headband or cap when I shoot. Not really for ear protection though, it just keeps my long hair out of my face & also away from the bowstring.
@@Maddie_Madds Thanks for the reply Maddie. Good luck at ETAR. You should consider a trip to Colorado. You can video Tom’s shop and range. I can make arrangements for you to shoot at my archery bud’s private 3D range. You and my wife can compare caps and headbands - she has quite a collection. Heck, I will even pay for you to have a massage from my wife.
Thats almost my bow! I have the 19" buckskin riser with 50# Selengas. I went for the NAP Centerest, just got it a few days ago its really nice. But I went with the Hoyt Superlite quiver because it keeps that carbon fiber/ buckskin aesthetic, also its bolted on solid. My arrows are Axis 400 spine, with a total weight of 495 grain. I'm training to do hunting, its such a nice bow, and you got a really nice range too! Would you recommend the trad vanes over the feathers?
Awesome! The Buckskin color just looks so nice. I do like feathers, they're definitely easier to fletch than the Trad vanes. However, I shoot Trad vanes exclusively right now. The reason why is because I live in the UK, and it rains almost every day here, and Trad vanes are waterproof. Therefore, they're a more reliable option for unorthodox weather conditions.
Excellent bow set up! And your form is flawless.
Hi Maddie! That's awesome! Yes please do another recurve archery setup. Thank you for your review!
Noice!

I wonder how you set your tiller? I am trying to shift from split-finger to 3-under.
Nice presentation. Where can one get the 400 gram weight you mention?
@@johanfynbo5377 I got it from Merlin Archery as I'm UK based. It's a, pretty straightforward weight by design.

@@Maddie_Madds I live in the UK too, right next to the north sea so its probably a good idea. 😄
Are you shooting NFAS or EFAA? Looks like a nice bow setup.
Currently NFAS.
Jealous of your fancy limbs… will follow your journey
What arrow rest is that?
@@ulikethatdontu it's a Push Archery Accutune with a Springy rest attachment.
