Slight shoulder discomfort, newbie.

Using a 35lb, 64inch recurve. Roughly 30inch draw soo.. ~40lb at my fingers I suppose. I know, I was impatient and bought a 35lb bow because everything else was out of stock.

I got my bow last week, I practiced for 3 days shooting about 30 arrows a day. (5 sets of 6 arrows)

I went out this morning to do the same, on my first set of six I noticed some pain in my left should (RH bow), so I stopped my session early and I won't practice again until I feel normal.

I assume my form is horrible, I can't get lessons just yet here, but I will as soon as some more restrictions are lifted.

I think I'd also better buy some lower pound limbs, I'm using spyder xl bow right now. Which is compatible with samick sage limbs, I think sage limbs aren't quite as long as my current limbs. I specifically got a larger bow as my draw is over 28 inches. Is anyone able to confirm this? Will it be okay to use shorter limbs if that is the case? Not sure what my next step is from here.

I would take a takedown recurve bow as my primary SHTF/bugout weapon

This is the type of opinion that is subject to change. In the near future, deteriorating political, economic, and social circumstances may result in many people having to rely on weapons to obtain food and defend themselves on a regular basis. Alternately, some people desire to leave civilization for a life of self-sufficiency in the wilderness, perhaps temporarily, and will encounter the same challenges. Generally, firearms are the preferred weapons among people who seek to prepare themselves for these events. I have owned and used a wide variety of firearms over many years and own several right now. If I had to pick one weapon to serve as a primary weapon (a full-size weapon intended to be used offensively, such as for hunting, and carried in the hand or by sling as opposed to a secondary weapon, which is complimentary, used defensively and carried on-person and possibly concealed, such as a handgun) I just might prefer my ILF recurve over any kind of rifle or shotgun.

A guide to dealing with target panic

I wanted to make a contribution to the useful copy pastas/reference guides, so here's an unofficial guide to target panic. It used to be that target panic was the affliction that must not be named. It was seen as something unescapable, something that could very well end an archer's career. Fortunately, we now have a much better understanding of what target panic is and how we can treat it. This has made it much easier to discuss it. Which is a very good thing, because target panic is common. If you're reading this, you probably have (had) it yourself or know someone who has it. What is target panic? Target panic is basically your brain going on auto-pilot. A very dumb auto-pilot. There are two basic flavours: The premature release type. You go through your shot process as usually, but before you reach anchor your body is like RELEASE! LOOSE! LET THAT ARROW FLY! And whoosh goes your arrow, towards a spot it wasn't supposed to go. The can't release type. You&#
