  • Arrow rests

    The rest does more for grouping than almost anything else you can bolt on. A brush rest is forgiving and quiet and suits hunting. A stick-on or screw-on launcher rest is simpler and lighter, and we carry stick-on recurve rests in left and right hand. A drop away style rest clears the arrow entirely at release, which is what the AD Wagga drop down rest is for. Set it so the arrow sits level and centred, then leave it alone.

  • Sights and peeps

    A three pin sight, like the Horizon, covers short, middle and longer distance with one pin each. A five pin, like the Sanlida deluxe, gives finer steps for anyone shooting out past the first two. A peep sight in the string is the rear reference that makes a front sight repeatable: we stock Topoint metal peeps, a self align rubber replacement and string nocking points to set it in place.

  • Release aids

    A mechanical release gives a cleaner, more repeatable let go than fingers, which shows up immediately in grouping. The Redzone Micro Hunter is a wrist strap caliper release, the straightforward option for hunting. The Sanlida X10 premium is a thumb release, which suits target shooting and anyone chasing a more controlled trigger. If you shoot fingers off a recurve instead, a Redzone finger tab is the part you want.

  • Quivers, guards and cases

    A back quiver or a screw lock tube quiver keeps arrows to hand and the fletching intact. An arm guard, in slip on or universal, stops the string catching a sleeve or a forearm, which is the most common beginner injury. The Osprey 3D bow bag in black and camo carries the bow and the gear together. Keep spare arrows and nocks in the bag so a broken shaft does not end a session.

  • Strings, cables and repairs

    A string is a wear item and so are the cables on a compound. We carry replacements and a fitting service under string and cable replacement, plus string chub silencers and an archery cable bar. If you are still choosing a bow to hang all of this off, see the compound bows we stock.

Setting up your bow

What type of arrow rest should I use?

For hunting, a brush rest is quiet and forgiving and holds the arrow while you move. For target shooting, a launcher style stick-on or screw-on rest is lighter and more precise. A drop away rest gives the arrow no contact at all at release, which is the most accurate option and the one that needs the most careful setup. Recurve shooters generally use a simple stick-on rest, handed left or right.

Do I need a three pin or a five pin sight?

Three pins cover close, middle and long and are plenty for hunting inside normal ranges. Five pins give you finer steps and more usable distance, which is what target shooters and anyone shooting beyond the first two pins want. More pins also mean more clutter in the sight window, so do not buy more than you will actually set.

What is a peep sight and do I need one?

A peep is a small aperture set into the bowstring that your eye looks through, so your head sits in the same place every shot. Without one you have no rear reference and your groups will wander, even with a good front sight. It is fitted into the string with nocking points above and below, and a self align peep rotates to face you on the draw.

Wrist release or thumb release, which is better?

A wrist strap caliper release is simpler, faster to pick up and the usual pick for hunting, because the strap means you cannot drop it. A thumb release is held in the hand and gives finer control over the let go, which suits target shooting. Neither one makes you accurate on its own; a consistent anchor does.

How do I stop the string hitting my forearm?

An arm guard, and then a look at your grip. The guard stops the string catching a sleeve or skin, which is the fix most people need. If the string is slapping hard every shot, your bow arm elbow is probably rotated in, so turning it slightly out moves the forearm clear.

Do you fit accessories and service bows in store?

Yes. We run an archery repairs service at Baylis Street, including fitting rests, sights, peeps and replacement strings and cables. Bring the bow in with the parts and we will set it up rather than leaving you to guess the tune.
