    Fix Your Aiming: Pro Stabilizer Setup Explained

    How do the best archers in the world actually set up their bows? In this episode, we sit down with elite compound archer Meeri Paas to break down her exact stabilizer setup — including lengths, angles, weight distribution, and the philosophy behind it all. We go beyond just numbers and get into what really matters: How to create a slow, controllable aiming pattern Why pulling your sight in one direction can be better than all directions The real reason pros stick to certain stabilizer lengths Front vs back bar positioning — and why it changed everything How small tweaks (not big changes) can fix major issues Why your setup should constantly evolve If you’ve ever struggled with inconsistent aiming, too much movement, or just not knowing what to change — this is one of the most practical breakdowns you’ll hear. Whether you’re dialing in your first serious setup or refining a competitive build, this gives you a clear framework for thinking about stabilizers like a pro.

  2. When a 10 Isn’t Enough: Inside Archery’s 11-Point Experiment

    22 ABR ·  CONTENIDO EXTRA

    When a 10 Isn’t Enough: Inside Archery’s 11-Point Experiment

    What happens when a perfect score… isn’t perfect anymore? In this video, we break down the experimental 11-point scoring system tested at the 2025 World Cup in Antalya — where hitting the X-ring earned 11 points instead of 10. The goal? Create more separation, reduce ties, and make compound archery more exciting for both athletes and spectators. But did it actually work? We dive into real match analysis with insights from top archer Meeri and discuss:  Why the 11-ring was introduced  How it changed strategy and pressure for athletes  Whether it made matches more exciting (or just more confusing)  The impact on scoring, momentum swings, and comebacks  Why even a “perfect” score might not be enough anymore This format sparked mixed reactions — from excitement about more dynamic competition to frustration over confusing scoring and mental adjustments.  Is this the future of archery, or just an interesting experiment?

  3. Target Compound Equipment Deep Dive: Lessons from a Paralympic Champion

    Target Compound Equipment Deep Dive: Lessons from a Paralympic Champion

    Most conversations about target compound equipment revolve around specs — bar lengths, stiffness, total mass weight, and numbers. This conversation is about what actually matters when you’re shooting. 2024 Paralympic Champion Jason Tabansky joins Joe and Maddie from RamRods Archery to cover:     How weight distribution affects execution and hold      Front vs back weight tradeoffs on a compound setup      How different bows require different stabilizer set ups      Why balance on paper doesn’t always translate to stability in practice      How experienced archers evaluate equipment changes over time      Why blindly copying other setups rarely works Jason is an experienced, high-level target compound archer who shoots from a wheelchair, offering a perspective shaped by the need for repeatability, and long-term consistency. This is not a “best setup” talk. It’s a practical, experience-based discussion about decision-making, not trends.
