Host Roy Canterbury sits down with Elliot Moreck, a 14-year-old compound archer who competes in U18 Professional and is a member of the USA Archery team. Elliot shares how he went from buying a hunting bow to making the national team. They also get into the gear and tuning talk archers love.
In this episode:
How a school NASP program and a Mathews Lift led to JOAD and national competition
Making the team in a tight U18 open division, where first through fifth were separated by only a point or two
Elliot's shot process, from anchor and back tension to a surprise release
Indoor season plans: Vegas, Hoosier 690, Rushmore Rumble, NFAA Indoor Nationals, and Lancaster
Dealing with target panic and testing equipment under tournament nerves
Target vs. hunting setups: Hoyt Concept X 40, Mathews Lift 33, and Elliot's first (and biggest) buck
Arrow tuning: bare shaft testing, paper tuning, straightness tolerances, FOC, and arrow weight
Carbon Express arrows, Maxima 27XL indoor shafts, and Muzzy broadheads
Feathers vs. vanes, helical offset, fletching glue, and fletching jigs
Blade rests vs. drop-aways, and centering and leveling a rest
Why learning to work on your own bow (press, draw board) pays off
Bowstring building, speed nocks, and D-loop pliers
Advice for beginners: find a good coach, get your draw length right, and don't overbuy used gear
