Best place to buy a wooden recurve bow in the 68-70 inch range

By

I have very little archery experience beyond camp when I was a kid, and am now a dad to two. My younger child is getting into archery with a compound bow, and I recently bought our first decent-quality arrows which are a big step up from the plastic-fletched ones that I bought to go with the bow before.

My question now is where to get a recurve bow for myself (once I sort this out, I'll get a slightly smaller one for my older child). I'd like it to be wooden and decent-quality, and my wingspan dictates that it be 68-70". I wasn't comfortable buying from Amazon as there's so little choice and there are mixed reviews of the ones available there, plus many are metal.

I'm pretty strong and would like to practice for hunting. I'm aware that most Olympic archers shoot with a 50-pound draw or even less. I wouldn't like a draw less than 50 pounds for this reason, but am still open to suggestions.

I'd like to keep the cost of the bow under $200 but will take all suggestions gladly.

Thank you!

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

By
So my budget has increased and i decided i'm going for a top-level sight for the target style recurve i'm building. It seems that Shibuya and Axcel are the top end, so for anyone who has experience with either one of them, or preferably both, could you tell me the differences, pros and cons, and which one is the best value? i'm planning on buying the most expensive, so the Axcel Achieve XP - Recurve or the Shibuya Ultima RC PRO Carbon Sight . If there's any other top end sights you think are better, let me know. I want this to be the first and last sight that i ever buy, and price doesn't really matter. Another question, on the Shibuya there's an option for "Single mount" and "Double mount." What do those mean? And lastly, is the sight aperture on either of the sights suitable, or is there better after-market apertures that are better? I'm sort of thinking that is something I should be buying from my local shop so i can actually te...

Is there any reason mediterranean and slavic draw shoot from opposite sides of the bow

By
When the release imparts the same twist on the string? It was my understanding that mediterranean draw has the arrow on the side opposite of the bow of the draw hand because of the twist imparted on the string affecting the arrow on release but that should mean that slavic draw would suffer from that problem. Am I missing something with this? Shouldn't that mean you could use a mediterranean draw on the same side of the bow as the draw hand and not have issues?

Help with a makeshift target for the garden.

By
My sister is buying me a target for Christmas so it would be kind of rude to just go out and buy one and ruin the gift, so in the mean time im making a makeshift target with whatever I have about. So far I have a tall box about 4 or 5 feet tall and 3 ft wide, its about a half ft deep. I've filled it with other boxes and the centre of the target is a box filled with polystyrene blocks, if then added a layer of blankets to the front and back and plugged any space with some old clothes and jeans. Paper target stuck on the front! What im wondering before I shoot at it, is with what ive described is it going to be enough to stop a field tip punching right through if if shot from a 40lb recurve at about 10ms? It will be resting against the brick wall of the house so I really don't want them to punch straight through and hit brick. I do have an old wooden door I could potentially use as an extra backstop just incase? Its an old inside door so mostly hollow inside rather than a so...
