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

Shooting 40lb recurve with fingers

By
I’ve been competing with a 20lb genesis bow for 3 years and just graduated. I am used to using a three finger release and have always done so without a glove. However, i have recently purchased a 40lb recurve which i intend to hunt with but i have found that it hurts my fingers after only maybe 20 arrows. I have a glove but I can’t shoot well with it because it messes up my release (why i never used it with genesis). I had a similar problem to a lesser extent when I started with my genesis but after a while it stopped bothering me. Will it cause any damage to my fingers to continue shooting without a glove? And if so, can you recommend any other options for protecting my fingers or should I just try to make my glove work? submitted by /u/Shmoop-Dog [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3kQK7dh via

Troubles with Thumb Draw...

By
Hello fellow archers! TLDR: I can't get my arrows to fly straight while using thumb draw. Please help! I started my archery journey for real last year with recurve. I loved it and I have become so much better than when I started. I've been using split finger, Mediterranean draw. My form is good and my arrows always fly straight and stick straight into the target. All I can see of the arrows is nocks and feathers when they're in the target. That's where I want to be. That makes me happy. Thumb draw, however... I have been practicing with it for a few months now. I've been using both Alibow's Mongolian fiberglass bow and their laminated Turkish bows. Both bows are 30# at 28" I have both a leather and plastic thumb rings that fit well. I've been shooting tight groups with thumb draw but my problem that I can't seem to fix on my own and can't learn from videos is that my arrows are always sticking in at an angle. I've tried Khatra, changin...

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 ...
