In simple terms. Yes. But it is easily avoided. When not in use dry off the bow and keep it in a waterproof case. Like anything, prolonged moisture is damaging. Using it in the rain is no problem...

Whilst I have no direct experience, garlic tablets can lower blood pressure, a clove of garlic itself will not have much of an impact unless you eat a lot of it. Other options are Cayenne Pepper, G...

You can string a recurve by bracing it on your foot. For casual shooting it is okay but I would advise against it. While it can twist the limbs, the actual issue is the uneven stress on the screws ...

Oh the amount of arrows I have had to repair. If the fletching is undamaged and you can fully remove the fixing agent, yes, you can reuse them. However, fletchings are rather cheap to buy so for th...

A tricky one this. Some people swear they do, others swear they don't. Personally I have never used them as I always feared they might throw off my shot. There is no definitive evidence that they w...

There is a possibility that your lips are catching on your knock points. It can take a few arrows to get your form at the start of a day. I used to have brass knock points as well. After a while I...

I'm afraid there is a good chance it will be human intervention. Badger culling. It is a grey area of illegal. Some farmers will kill badgers and to hide their actions, dump them on the roadside to...
