Wanting to get into archery but...

By

Hey all - I am looking to get into archery, just casual shooting to start and maybe as my comfort level and love grows move into friendly competition or whatever.

That said, I've read/watched countless articles and videos on beginner tips, what not to do, draw egos, etc. but I still find myself unprepared. I can't find anything around topics like range etiquette or how to even start. I search my local area for ranges but only seem to come across archery stores or shops.

I was bullied in my early years of education, random I know, but that fear of being laughed at or messing up some random easy shit that everyone knows paralysises me into moving forward so I like to learn as much as I can prior to taking in a new hobby.

Any tips or information you'd give to a new archery looking to get into it is greatly appreciated :)

Rob

Troubles with Thumb Draw...

By
Hello fellow archers! TLDR: I can't get my arrows to fly straight while using thumb draw. Please help! I started my archery journey for real last year with recurve. I loved it and I have become so much better than when I started. I've been using split finger, Mediterranean draw. My form is good and my arrows always fly straight and stick straight into the target. All I can see of the arrows is nocks and feathers when they're in the target. That's where I want to be. That makes me happy. Thumb draw, however... I have been practicing with it for a few months now. I've been using both Alibow's Mongolian fiberglass bow and their laminated Turkish bows. Both bows are 30# at 28" I have both a leather and plastic thumb rings that fit well. I've been shooting tight groups with thumb draw but my problem that I can't seem to fix on my own and can't learn from videos is that my arrows are always sticking in at an angle. I've tried Khatra, changin...

Shooting 40lb recurve with fingers

By
I’ve been competing with a 20lb genesis bow for 3 years and just graduated. I am used to using a three finger release and have always done so without a glove. However, i have recently purchased a 40lb recurve which i intend to hunt with but i have found that it hurts my fingers after only maybe 20 arrows. I have a glove but I can’t shoot well with it because it messes up my release (why i never used it with genesis). I had a similar problem to a lesser extent when I started with my genesis but after a while it stopped bothering me. Will it cause any damage to my fingers to continue shooting without a glove? And if so, can you recommend any other options for protecting my fingers or should I just try to make my glove work? submitted by /u/Shmoop-Dog [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3kQK7dh via

Gear Recommendations

By
Hey I'm about to get into Barebow, have a few gear that may need upgrading/replacing. Just interested in hearing everyone's thoughts. Current Setup - Hoyt Nexus 25" Riser - Hoyt Carbon 550 Medium Limbs - Easton A/C/C arrows Recommendations needed: - Vanes (I'm partial to spin vanes) - String (Hoyt owner's manual says my setup is a 68" bow, needing a 65"/165cm string) - Limbs upgrade?? (I am 5'11", may not be necessary) - Replacement tips (my current tips are dulling and my pencil sharpener doesn't work) submitted by /u/Ok-Investment-8267 [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/2V4Y3Fp via
