Getting into target compound, need help!

By

I am getting into target compound archery as an intermediate level archer, and looking for suggestions on what’s the easiest way to kit out a bow at a reasonable price to performance to both improve with and something that I could take to local competitions until I upgrade things as I get better.

I know stabilizers like doinker are name brand, but it’s hard as someone who is just getting serious about archery to know if there are alternatives.

Sights- it seems most people go single pin sites with adjustable rails, I’ve seen shrewd as a brand that keeps coming up. Do target sights have minor magnification usually?

Arrows— I’ve mostly been shooting Easton x7s with 100 grain target tips, is that the norm? It was based on a friend’s recommendation.

Poundage on bows — I’ve seen this be something debated over, my bow has a 45-55 lb limb setup, is that too slow for target bows?

Sorry for the lack of knowledge, my local clubs have been less responsive with covid so a lot Of times I am shooting alone or don’t have people to pose questions to.

I appreciate any help I can get, you guys are the best!

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.

A guide to dealing with target panic

By
I wanted to make a contribution to the useful copy pastas/reference guides, so here's an unofficial guide to target panic. It used to be that target panic was the affliction that must not be named. It was seen as something unescapable, something that could very well end an archer's career. Fortunately, we now have a much better understanding of what target panic is and how we can treat it. This has made it much easier to discuss it. Which is a very good thing, because target panic is common. If you're reading this, you probably have (had) it yourself or know someone who has it. What is target panic? Target panic is basically your brain going on auto-pilot. A very dumb auto-pilot. There are two basic flavours: The premature release type. You go through your shot process as usually, but before you reach anchor your body is like RELEASE! LOOSE! LET THAT ARROW FLY! And whoosh goes your arrow, towards a spot it wasn't supposed to go. The can't release type. You&#
