Looking to purchase a recurve now for myself and girlfriend.

Edit: meant to say recurve bow not now! Lol

So me and my girlfriend are looking into getting into archery a bit in our free time, we have a pretty significant height difference, I’m 6 3” she is 5 2”, I understand height and length of bow is a big part of it so I was wondering if there might be a sweet spot or a in between lengths where we can both use the bow and have a fun time shooting targets and what not. If it’s a bit nonsensical for us to share a bow lemme know, I just figured if there would be a way for both of us to share one I would ask. Thank you guys in advance looking forward to getting into this hobby!

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

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&#
