@GaryShaffer-g8b Yes. Lots of people struggle with this. Including myself sometimes even after decades of shooting. Good luck and just keep plugging away. It will come to you when you least expect it.

@ryanbeard1119 Yes I do. Most modern glove manufacturers are making/selling cheap imitation gloves. They are not made well and will hurt your shooting by causing exactly what you described. EWBateman.com makes some of the best gloves today. I have several of them. They are NOT cheap. Price or craftsmanship. They give you adequate protection without removing all the " feel". I do not recommend using a fatter string to resolve your problem. That would lead to more headaches like recoil/ hand shock and weaker performance. Quality is more expensive than it should be but I recommend researching Bateman and get yourself a glove that will last for years.

@longbowarcher1900s ok, good to know, but I guess I did waste 20 dollars today buying one. I guess I'll have to fi d one w the thick hard leather and release srtip.

@hoosierdonkeys8073 I had a string tracker sent to me a while back to do a review on it. I havent had time to do it. I plan on it. Good or bad, I'll give it an honest review. Personally I have never felt the need for one. Just seems like something else to worry about but some people swear by them. We will see. Thank you for watching my content and I hope it helps.

David I am in the process of finding out if that man want to make some more of them. I've had several inquiries. When I know for sure, I'll let you know.

Heh David contact Tim Abel 7346546607. He's in Michigan and he built that quiver.

Thank you! I live in MI.

Correct. I've made several videos addressing that point.

I agree with you about the sound that carbon arrows make vs. wood. I believe that wood is a bit more quiet due to the fact that they are solid which may absorb more of the energy. no scientific proof ,just my observation.

Should bot be a problem at all.

I shoot mostly 3d as well. I also love building my own wood arrows. The only change I made was to switch to a long bow. A lot of the shoots I go to require long bow shooters to be shooting wood arrows. Locally where I shoot I have one of the top traditional shooters who just switched to long bow and wood arrow and is loving the change.

Steve, that's a 57#@28 68" Shelton from Turay. The glass is brown back and belly.

@@longbowarcher1900s sweet looking bow brother! Take care and please keep the videos coming. They help hill bow junkies like me

Hello Rodney. Glad you're enjoying my content. Steve is a first rate and professional bowyer with decades of experience. He's also a personal friend of mine and hunting buddy. Yes, the wait can be grueling but it also will give you ample time to decide on exactly what you are looking for. I've owned and or shot all of the different models you mentioned. The Shelton is his stringfollow design and is an excellent choice. It's smooth draw cycle and forgiving nature when shot correctly is unbeatable. The Classic has a little back set in it and is a little faster ," 3 to 5 feet per second" faster. However, it a joy to shoot and offers the same smoothness and forgiveness. The American is arguably the fastest bow of the 3. It's backset limbs almost feel like it " breaks over" at full draw giving it a super smooth feel when drawn but very quick arrow flight. I like them all and you certainly can't go wrong with any of them. Currently, I'm hunting with a 57# Shelton. Love the bow and I can hunt anything with it. I would recommend looking on Facebook for ASL and other hill style longbow groups for a Northern Mist at or near the draw weight you are looking for. Kind of a try it before you buy it thing. Steve's bows are not overly common up for sell used but they do show up. You won't be disappointed with ant of the 3 models as long as you have the correct draw weight, length of bow, a decent string and proper weight arrows.

You can message me of Facebook messenger. We can exchange numbers and have a call if you have any questions or concerns

Ill do that i appreciate it

I will sure do that. Working on some stuff and I'll put that on the list to put out soon. Thanks for the request.

Heh Rob. I am using a 58# @28" Northern Mist Shelton Longbow. Douglas Fir shafts and I burn my feathers either parabolic or shield 5 1/2". 185 and 200 grain heads. Usually grizzly or ABowyer single bevel heads. Depending on several things but my arrows are coming in around 675 to a little over 700 grains.
