Tips on my hook

By

Hi,

Got my new Yost tab and want to make sure I'm using it properly :)

Here is my hook:

https://i.ibb.co/0D1k58m/116434438-785633645574971-6205959198711250145-n.jpg

Don't mind my strange wrist position and thumb/pinky. I was trying to keep the bow away from my body and extra fingers out of the way for the image :)

What im interested in is that is my hook fingers acceptable?

So my top hook finger is hooked right at the first joint and at about 90 degree angle with my palm pointing at my face.
My middle finger is more wrapped around the string.
And the tip of my bottom finger is just resting on the string.

This leaves my hand at an small angle away from my body. This is because if my head is parallel to my body and i anchor with my top finger to the corenr of my mouth and also push the rest of the top finger against my cheek its kind of impossible to still keep the whole hand parallel to my head and body.

Does that sound about correct or am i doing something really wrong? :)

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. It's ad

Having Trouble Figuring out a Backstop Situation

By
When I was around thirteen, I got my first recurve bow, and every weekend I practiced really diligently. I feel like I got pretty good for a casual archer. But having to wait for the weekend and going to the same indoor range just to shoot my bow for an hour or two got boring. So as life got busier, I stopped shooting as much. Alas, this is my sad tale. Now I'm 22, I live in a new area, and got a new awesome 50# recurve bow! The only problem is, I don't have the time or the money to go to an indoor range, and I'd just run into the same problem. I feel like my backyard is big enough, I called the city and they said so long as I'm not shooting at other people's houses or if I have a large enough structure in the path of my shot, I was clear to shoot in my yard. At the moment I'm looking at shooting at the side of my garage where it's probably around 10ft wide and about as tall. I don't think I have quite 30ft of distance, maybe not even 25ft, but don'
