Archery Equipment Part 2

Thanks for your support.

As I promised, I will talk about plunger buttons, clickers and damper.

Plunger buttons are generally used to ensure that archers shoot better. Plungers are used to tune the bow to the arrow. As arrow is fired from the bow, it bends and thus, the plunger button will push the arrow and allow the arrow to travel at its optimum speed and thus, the optimum accuracy. Plunger buttons are generally used by intermediate and advanced archers. Beginners often have arrow rest with a plastic flap on it on their wooden bows which also serve similar functions. Shibuya, Beiter and Win&Win offer good and durable plungers. I will recommend Beiter plungers as it can last as long as 5 years. I will NOT recommend Cartel plungers as they are not as durable and efficient when they serve their function.

Clickers are used to helped the archers have the same amount of draw length for every shot. This is a need for the every archer, even beginners, as the length of each draw will determine the power to the arrow. If every draw differ, the power delivered to the arrow will also differ, thus there will not be any accuracy. Arrows need to be cut so that clickers can be used. Beiter and Win&Win offer very durable clicker which can last almost forever. They come in different colour which is very trendy. I will not recommend magnetic clicker as every click means a knock on the magnet and as everyone might know, a knock on the magnet means that the magnet will lose its magnetic force. Frequent knock might cause the magnetic clicker to not be able to function normally. In addition, the arrow head is made of metal and if the magnetic clicker is used, the arrow head might not travel straight.

Lastly, the damper. This is normally put at the end of the stabilisers and maybe also on the top of the risers to absorb the vibration generated from the shot. These dampers will 'shake' when you shoot your arrow. By putting 1 or 2 damper, it can decrease the vibration you absorb and thus, allow a more comfortable shoot. I will recommend Win&Win dampers as they are affordable and good to use.

I'll end here now.

Cheers.
