I found my archery improved considerably when shooting blank bail a lot. Just a few ens now an again at home is all it takes, little and often and you don't need a lot of room to do it.
The arrow hitting the target before you shot tripped me out.good looking bow, color is great, but what's most important is how she shoots and holds. Having a hard time between the elite echelon, pse supra focus, shoot down, perform x 3D...... Most of these are pse so that says something about pse. I like the adjustability they offer. No other bow provides that. Anyway, thank you for making these videos. You're the only person making quality pse videos.
That’s why I prefer dogs with short hair. I really like that bow and am seriously considering ordering one. Would like to ask a favor though. Please do a video on all the colors that bow comes in so we can make informed decisions before we order. No where is there a place to see them all not even the PSE website, they only sow small parts of the bow in the various colors. Great shooting just a couple of clicks down on the 90m.
@@theamazinggoldfish8713 Originally, a Full Fita Target Round was shot at 30, 50, 70 and 90 M. Then probably US Archers decided to only to shoot Compound at 50m. I shoot the Olympic Recurve because of the History and the Challenge. It's the most difficult to shoot well.
I love the color of this bow. I like the riser on the ext better but this just looks like it holds better. Is this true? Does the geometry actually make a difference?
The balance is different to the Perform, so you can add more weight to the front. I have shot same scores with this and the Perform, but I feel, it holds better. But I added the same weight to the Perform and shot great, but I could only shoot 30arrows with that weight.
I will keep monitoring your progression with this. I am shooting a halon x now but want to move that to a 3d rig and get a supra ext or the focus for indoor. Keep us all posted on how this turns out! Love the vids, keep up the good work
@@blainclatworthy5423 never heard that before. We use blue loctite in military aviation where corrosion is a big no no, and it is specifically used to prevent corrosion in threads. Idk who told you that one, but I’ve never seen or heard that in about 20 years of working with the stuff. Why would the only substance specifically designed for this purpose actually be the worst choice? Sounds a bit ridiculous doesn’t it?
Your comment regarding the stability of the bow and the fact that the handle position is forward of the limb pockets is interesting. Has there been a bow that has had the handle way forward of the limb pockets?
Hi Steve I'm from the good old UK I have just bought a supra focus 60lb but being a beginner I'm struggling with getting the bow to sit without movement I'm 6 foot six not weak but I cant seam to get a good balance I'm using a 30 bar 8oz on the front and 6 on the back single side bar which is out to the far left for torque but my pin wont settle apart from more weight what can I do? Do I increase the rear weight over the front or vice versa never had a deflex riser before...
Do you have a link for the video from Dan you mentioned? I think it's funny that you haven't removed the plastic loop which held the information tally on to the bow.
Oh man, that's a bummer about the target, that was great to practice at! Looking forward to getting a Supra later in the year (come on tax return!!). I shot Michael's the other day it was soo nice so much better than my 20 yo Browning!
I had 2 sight settings wrong. 50 ii shot my first arrow in the 6. But my 50 score was good Australian standard, 30 first 2 arrows high in nine all the rest in the 10. But my 90 let me down, I really did not know the score to shoot at 90 but othe distances were fine. But I lost it at 90.
I also practice at 20 yards allot.. but I use scaled 50 meters targets scaled down for 20 yards... helps me allot as the sight picture stays the same. I use archers advantage software to print the targets... works really well...😉
Nice bow at that price point. Would be better at 38.5 ATA Keeping the weight the same with a slight redesign. The 38.5 ATA would also differentiate it from other bows in the lineup ;-)
Interesting comments re the aesthetics of the Focus, Steven. Such a subjective quality , eh ? Being involved in design for many years, I intensely dislike purposeless "hooks", "fins", "horns" & other ugly tacky bits on risers & actually find them in bad taste. When I first laid eyes on this new Focus, the simple sleek sweeping balanced lines appealed, & was the initial feature that grabbed my attention. The geometry & hold confirmed that I had to own one.
Myles who works in the store likes the Focus but won't buy it on looks, he likes the Shootdown with fins. He liked the Elite but thought the Shootdown looked better. So yes everyone likes different looks and colours.
Watch your own video and notice your anchor at 30m and 90m. Its geometrically impossible to have the same anchor at different distances with a peep sight and scope combination, even if you tilt at the hip. This happens on moving scopes and not on fixed pin sights.
SoManyBasses ...actually the guy is right. Anchor point does change as yardage increases when using a sliding type sight. In fact, pro target archers will often set up their bows by sighting in their peep sight to the average yardage they plan on shooting. Many of them have dedicated rigs for each discipline they shoot. So they will setup a specific rig for 18m/20yds, that has the peep set for the greatest accuracy at that distance. The peep height and therefor anchor position will be different for shooting 50m as they do in World Archery events. So another bow is setup for that distance, and if you measure the peep position, it will be different from the 18m position. 3D archers, who face a variety of distances over the course of a competition, will often set their peep for an average distance like 35yds. That gives the most comfortable and accurate anchor over the entire range of distances being shot. So sure, you can set your peep at any old height that matches your form, but if you want to pick up a few points around the course, try sighting in your peep to an average distance, as opposed to the distance of the range in your backyard or pro shop.
Wow. You are far from ready for a competition with that bow setup 😂. Why not do a simple and quick walk back tune to set up the centre alignment. And as for the peep and scope alignment it's not possible for them to be aligned at all distances if you are still keeping the exact same form. Any experienced archer will tell you that you keep the same form and accept that over the longer and shorter distances your peep will be a tiny bit high or low and you will have to either move it (which you shouldn't really) or just adjust head position a tiny bit but it's adjusted knowing you are adjusting to fit the different height. I like your videos but you really don't explain things properly. Anyone reading this... please understand that peep alignment will always be a little off and it's the archer that has to adjust themselves to get the correct alignment. This isn't properly explained in this video.
Well said Tommy. It also looks like Steven’s DL is a touch long. I would think he might shoot a bit better if he dropped at least a half inch to get his right elbow a bit higher. The imaginary line from his elbow to his release points slightly upward. Greater accuracy is achieved when that line points slightly (or more downward). Yes, yes, yes, I know pro shooters like Reo shoot with a longer DL than optimum. They also shoot on level ground at fixed distances. You can get away with stuff like that in a perfectly controlled environment. If you take that same form to events that feature uphill, downhill, and sidehill shots, with possible uneven footing, it can get frustrating. So if you are shooting high scores, but not quite high enough for your liking, try shortening your DL a bit.

It took ages to edit, I thought I had it right, oh well.
marking/numbering your arrows helps a lot
Would love to hear how you go at the State champ's with the Focus
Thank you for sharing you're experience
Good times. The poodle is great. Didn’t get the story about the MERC.
Really do enjoy your videos. Good luck in the Nationals.
Yes, excellent view and setting.
You have a range finder? They magnifies and use it to see the arrows on target.

Here in Canada, it's 50M for compound as well, that's one of the reasons I started shooting Olympic Recurve again.
Hi could you please explain why you went "recurve" because of the 50 meter range.

@@theamazinggoldfish8713 Shooting off one's fingers, not a mechanical release at 70m is a challenge!!

So you hold your breath when you shoot. I'll try thank you sir. Great looking bow.
in while drawing, out when you hit the wall and are aiming :)
If your stabilizer is coming loose, I would suggest some bow string wax on the threads.
Gets all kinds of nasty in there with wax, a dab of blue loctite works wonders and no messy sticky shit in your bushings
@@2ndAveScents Clear nail polish is a better choice than Blue Loctite, which will cause corrosion.

what it is the“zi zi”voice when you draw the bow?

Hoyt Pro Elite was one. This geometry it extremely forgiving.

What a lovely man.

Hope you do well in the comp 👍🏻

Great video as always!! How would you compare the xpression vs the supra focus?
Will you be videoing any of the competition?

Thanks for the video..... Ps dont forget ya scope next time.
Are you doing any Martin Axon reviews?
Spotting Scope !
It sounds like the draw length module is loose
Its the module against the cam, i waxed it noise gone.
Nice bow at that price point.
Would be better at 38.5 ATA
Keeping the weight the same with a slight redesign.
The 38.5 ATA would also differentiate it from other bows in the lineup ;-)
You write with your left hand and shoot with your right hand. ????
Yes i'm left handed but shoot right. When I started there were not many left handed bôws.
@@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale like Jimmy Hendrix!
@@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale but which eye is dominant?
Some people....! It would be a wonderful world if everyone would learn to love their neighbor.
Thought you would be shooting the Elite.
setting your sights without a range finder to know how far you are from the target ???? hell i even use a spotting scope at 18m

Dude just get a scope at 90m, then look into it (telescope) to figure out your groupings. (Fellow 1st class archer).
Paper tune it, do a french tune. Then it won't drift.
ur left handed and shoot right handed why is that? good luck in ur comp this weekend.
eye dominance is the important part
In all fairness.... there is always a lil truth in every joke ;) People are just to sensitive
