New to Reddit as a whole and hopefully will be new to archery as well! Questions.

So the idea of archery has always intrigued me but I've never got around to picking it up. Recently however I've found myself inching closer and closer to taking up the sport (basically at the point where I'm ready to make a purchase(s). Let me start by saying that I'm also a 26yr old male, so probably should have picked it up sooner lmao... anyway. I wanted to know where someone at my age should start? I've tried googling "archery for beginners" but most if not all the links that pop up are "archery for kids" and things of that nature. I'm willing to learn from all areas (as you should with anything) books, tutorial videos, hands on experience(obvs) etc. I figured this would be my next best option seeing as how I can't get good results from google lol. My goal is to eventually work up to competitive shooting, long way to go I'm aware 🤣. I would really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance, folks!

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

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'
