HELP noob has questions (kinda long)

By

I am not completely new to archery (maybe a few hundred shots a few years ago and a few recently) but that was with compound. And its time I BUY a bow. I've never bought one before (only gifted) and I am having trouble deciding

I know there are a lot of these posts but I just have a few questions and would like suggestions because I have been doing SO MUCH research and I always prefer to hear what real people say for comparison. Every manufacturer goes "good bow. Lots of power." And the reviews are all basically the same for all of them

So whats the difference? If I get a $5-600 bow is it noticeably better than a <$200 bow? It seems like every bow is either a "beginner" for $150 or its "pro Olympic" at like over 700, I just don't know how much to spend. Before you ask I'll tell you what I'm planning in doing with it, I'm going to mostly be doing target practice and when I'm ready I want to be able to hunt with it in the future with heavier limbs, mostly white tail and possibly pigs

I'll tell you my thinking based off research, I'm thinking of maybe spending around 350. I know its not a lot but I think it'll be okay for now as a beginner

I want an ILF bow so I can upgrade in quality or draw weight in the future, and I want to be able to put lighter weight limbs on there for my girlfriend to shoot too. So mostly for now it'll be target practice (I'm thinking 30#?) I read that I should get a quality ILF riser now with okay limbs as a place to start, since I can get better limbs or higher weights later

Is this correct? Getting a decent ILF riser around 250 and okay 30# limbs for 100? Or should I just do what everyone says and get a black hunter or a samick sage/southwest spyder? I'm just confused

Id prefer it to be ILF with the option for attachments and still capable of hunting without spending like a thousand dollars, and I'm worried the sage or black hunter are overrated or I'm going to end up needed a better one

Please correct anything and ask my questions

I was looking at this one https://www.lancasterarchery.com/galaxy-sear-17-ilf-recurve-riser.html#tab-label-reviews but can't find reviews anywhere :( please help

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

By
So my budget has increased and i decided i'm going for a top-level sight for the target style recurve i'm building. It seems that Shibuya and Axcel are the top end, so for anyone who has experience with either one of them, or preferably both, could you tell me the differences, pros and cons, and which one is the best value? i'm planning on buying the most expensive, so the Axcel Achieve XP - Recurve or the Shibuya Ultima RC PRO Carbon Sight . If there's any other top end sights you think are better, let me know. I want this to be the first and last sight that i ever buy, and price doesn't really matter. Another question, on the Shibuya there's an option for "Single mount" and "Double mount." What do those mean? And lastly, is the sight aperture on either of the sights suitable, or is there better after-market apertures that are better? I'm sort of thinking that is something I should be buying from my local shop so i can actually te...

Help me identify a problem with aiming.

By
So im trying to learn how to gap shoot, but the problem is, the first step is 'use the tip of the arrow'. Now when I do this, I can already tell before shooting that if I use the tip of the arrow, the shot will go way left, this is obviously before even factoring in the gap above and below the target. I don't have too much trouble grouping in the yellow at 10ms, but the way im 'aiming' is just looking at the target and knowing that I need to shoot a certain distance to the right and a certain distance down. Im not using the arrow tip here...its hard to say exactly what im using as the reference its just a feeling I guess? I wouldn't say its instinctive as im definitely trying to aim I just don't know how im doing it, and I don't think it would hold up as I increase distance so I want to learn how to gap shoot properly. I appreciate having to adjust up or down as thats part of gap shooting, but if im having to compensate right, what could the problem ...

Question on bow fit - Mathews V3 31"

By
Long story short: I decided after 2 years to upgrade my used Dreniln. Went in to a local shop and they steered me towards a V3. In hindsight they didn't spend near as much time with me as they should have. Anyway, my wingspan is just under 76" and the bow is set at it's max draw length of 30.5". In order to get a good sight picture and have my nose touch the string, I need to tilt my head down just slightly, which then causes my jaw to change position and a loose a bit of my anchor point. Is this common for a shorter bow, or should I really have gone with a bow that goes to 31" and/or a longer axle to axle to get a better angle? V3s are hard to come by around here so I may be able to recoup most of the cost of the bow if I decide to switch. Not sure what to do. I went back to the bow shop and the guy said "That's the cool thing about archery, some people move there head, lean back, lean forward, it's all a matter of how you want to shoot"...I...
