PATRICK HUSTON
RISER: Hoyt Formula XI. “I’m keen to build on the success
I had with the championship red Formula Faktor, which I shot for many years.”
LIMBS: Hoyt Velos Formula in long; 46lb, 50lb on the fingers. “These extraslim limbs are far more tortionally stable than the last skinny limb from Hoyt, the F7. I get great speed and reliable performance from these limbs.”
SIGHT: Axcel Achieve with a Spigarelli dot sight pin – cross-hairs with an orange dot, Tippexed white then coloured black. “I change regularly from an open ring of the same size to a dot. I prefer the accuracy of aiming that the dot gives you.” BUTTON: Beiter Plunger in red.
STABILISERS: 29in Doinker Platinum, 10oz, and an A-bomb; 15in side rods with 5oz each, angled medium down with a 3in solid aluminium extender. “This stabiliser set-up matches my poundage and gives a little assistance in direction towards the target. During lockdown,
I tried a swinging V-bar set-up, which was very interesting and enjoyable to shoot. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite hold up to the 58# I was shooting at the time.”
GRIP: Ye0-go custom grip from Rcore. “This model is a development of the Ye0lo grip I designed with my coach, Richard Priestman. The Ye0-lo trains the wrist to relax with special curvature to enhance the hand’s relationship with the bow. The Ye0go takes this unique shape and increases the angle to improve connection with the push through the aerates anterior and front shoulder unit, creating an easy, flowing execution. Check out the Rcore website – rcore.co – for more information.”
CLICKER: “An angled/step clicker designed by Richard Priestman to give a visual cue of where the clicker is sitting on the arrow.”
STRING: BCY X string in fluorescent yellow by Reign Bowstrings. “Paper nose button glued in place.”
TAB: Fairweather tab with a cordovan face on the front and a Scholl gel insole for backing.
ARROWS: 450 Carbon Express Nano Pro Extreme, 120gn in the front. Beiter over nocks, Eli Vanes and XS Wings.
