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
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.
Looking back, this may be my all-time-best round. Twelve arrows at 20 yards. I have yet to match this consistency and accuracy in a single round. #barebow#archery
Almost complete. This is a 70" pacific yew bow that I've carved, and it's currently pulling 40 pounds at a 25" draw.
It looks like it's doing what it's supposed to be doing.
I did it. I will finally begin archery and there are some small things I will need for doing that.
I am poor, disabled, depressive and neurodivergent, the assistant I have motivated me to join a shooting club because he says it will be good for me, mind and body, but the financial things are scaring me a lot.
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.
I'm interested in your #archery stories regarding how you got involved in the sport. What got you interested? What barriers for entry did you experience? What keeps you shooting? What caused you to lapse?
