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...

Is there any reason mediterranean and slavic draw shoot from opposite sides of the bow

By
When the release imparts the same twist on the string? It was my understanding that mediterranean draw has the arrow on the side opposite of the bow of the draw hand because of the twist imparted on the string affecting the arrow on release but that should mean that slavic draw would suffer from that problem. Am I missing something with this? Shouldn't that mean you could use a mediterranean draw on the same side of the bow as the draw hand and not have issues?

Help with a makeshift target for the garden.

By
My sister is buying me a target for Christmas so it would be kind of rude to just go out and buy one and ruin the gift, so in the mean time im making a makeshift target with whatever I have about. So far I have a tall box about 4 or 5 feet tall and 3 ft wide, its about a half ft deep. I've filled it with other boxes and the centre of the target is a box filled with polystyrene blocks, if then added a layer of blankets to the front and back and plugged any space with some old clothes and jeans. Paper target stuck on the front! What im wondering before I shoot at it, is with what ive described is it going to be enough to stop a field tip punching right through if if shot from a 40lb recurve at about 10ms? It will be resting against the brick wall of the house so I really don't want them to punch straight through and hit brick. I do have an old wooden door I could potentially use as an extra backstop just incase? Its an old inside door so mostly hollow inside rather than a so...
