I'm putting together a IFL bow to use at a club and for eventual competition shooting, I have a few questions:

By

I am looking at the Samick Ideal riser which is $275 in my country. Limbs I haven't decided on, but I'm open to anything of equal quality, same with the string and arrows. My local archery store is able to build the bow for me and sort out any custom specification related things. I intend on shooting instinctively for the first while anyway so sights and stabilizers aren't an immediate issue.

My question is how far will the Samick Ideal and similar limbs get me in terms of holding up as a quality bow? Will it sustain me for multiple years or will I feel the need to purchase something of higher quality due to shortcomings once I get to a stage where I'm able to shoot competitively?

I did an archery beginner's course a few years back and loved it so much. I'm going to be joining a club soon and I intend on making archery a major hobby in the coming years. I am definitely a beginner but I have some experience shooting. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks mates, stay safe in these uncertain times.

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.

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'
