Anybody here into archery? I’m thinking of taking it up and wouldn’t mind some pointers for a beginner. No hunting, only targets for fun & exercise. Considering a recurve with 30-40 lbs draw. Anything beyond that, I’m clueless. Planning a trip to a semi-local archery shop that has a good reputation. Advice? #archery

#WordWeavers 2404.01 — MC POV: Write a Mastodon introduction post.
#Introduction I'm really new to the #Mastodon thing, but Her Highness told me I had to do this and taught me how. Everyone at school calls me their "Wild Woman," thus my @WildWomanOfFellWoods handle. I'm becoming used to that because it's true. I've lived amongst #wolves since I was 7 with the Blue Feathers pack, so I'll be posting lots of #wolf spark renders, like the one of Mother Wolf below. (Read the ALT text.) She's the third white wolf in that role because people live longer. I #hunt with #knives, but am learning #archery because I'm not yet a provider for the pack. I can't run as fast as they can, so I use my #knife once they've brought down the prey. My #gift is befriending #beasts. I can speak with them and they become smarter. I'm not sure if the effect is just on those beasts I've met, or if it spreads. If you've noticed wolves being smarter or more friendly to people, please private message me! If you want to. Not trying to impose. This goes with red #dragons. I befriended the one all over the news who burnt up the farm—and, no, she wasn't going to burn up the capital! She sneezed. Next to a grain silo. 😅 Nevertheless, if another shows up and turns out friendly, let me know! Sorry. I don't have any #dragon pictures. You can ask me about dragons, though. I also do #modeling, so you've probably seen me in a magazine. Yeah. I'm that #model. I won't post pictures, though, because I'd have to CW. But you can ask about that. I'm #shy so I don't do meet ups.
I’m here to make friends and be part of a larger community.
I don’t view things as good vs bad. There’s not always a victim, villain, and savior. Life is much more complex than that. For that reason, I’m not one to assume ill-intent. I love to learn new things.
New bow came! #Alibow, Tibetan style, #60 at 29 inches and it's a beast to string! Unfortunately my neck is still sore from a few bad form pulls on my part so I'm going to heal up a bit before shooting it.
#archery Hi all, I am looking for a good sturdy arrow rest. I shoot recurve with carbon/alu arrows and I am open for suggestions.
I was thinking like something this:
@amunizp Yes, this one.
And yes: it seems to be best for barebow.
If you buy the Shibuya rest, please tell me how it works. Currently I have Decut Sius, and it sucks: magnet is very weak (or resistance is too big) and wire does not return to default position itselfs.
