In Light of so many requests for "recommendations" I thought this thread might help.
First of all AMO or Archery Manufacturers and Merchants Organization put out a document that has all the "Standards" that we as archers use. They used to be at www.amo-archery.org but that website seems to now be a search portal.
You can find the document if you search a bit. I found a copy here. http://www.thearcher.com/depot/resourceCentre/AMOStandards.pdf
Since the internet can be such a poor communication medium, Let's see if we can help guide you in advance.
Things that help us as instructors/coaches with guiding you. (if you have this info in your signature that works too)
If you don't know, that's OK we can ask questions to guide you but this may eliminate some of the "I need help with " followed by several responses asking all the questions over and over.
Obviously not all the information may be necessary but the more information you give the community, the better we can help you.
Subject
What does your request involve? Tuning, form, basic instruction, arrow selection, equipment recommendations, etc
In the Skills/demographics category
Level of archer, beginner, Intermediate, advanced, competing.
If you want to be more objective maybe distance and scores. ie 18M 40cm Fita target 275/300
Style of archery. (barebow/traditional, Recurve, Compound) and class/age/gender (youth, young adult, adult if you don't want to give your age)
How long have you been shooting? Have a coach or self taught
Left or Right handed. (eye dominance if you know)
In the Equipment category
Left or right handed.
Exact equipment using.
For example a basic request might include.
RH, Hoyt GM, 25" td4 series. 36" medium limbs. 8125 string. Single rod Stabilizer. no vbars, Plunger, basic sight, etc..
Shooting equipment,
Tab, Glove, release (if compound)
Arrows if known, length of arrow spine/series, vanes, feathers, type and size, Point weight, nock type, etc.. The more information the better.
Symptoms
Arrow flight. (fish tailing, Porpoising, spiraling)
Bare shaft lands where at what distance?
nock position (high right compared to fletched arrow
Group size at what distance?
if a form question, "arrows group low left as I tire", or "can't keep pin on target as I get to 70M"
Setup and measurements
Draw weight at what draw length. Calculated or measured..
NOTE: Draw length is measured from bottom of nock grove to the pivot point (where the web of your palm presses into the grip) +1.75"
NOTE: For best results draw weight should be measured with a scale but calculations are better than nothing.
String info should include type, strands, serving type, nock type.
Other setup info that is helpful, Brace height, tiller, nock height, exact brands if possible.
Arrow info for more technical questions should include make/model/spine. Length of arrow, Point type/weight. Nock type.
Goals or outcome desired
What are you trying to accomplish with this inquiry?
Be realistic and Honest.
