More longbow input...

By

So I found a crossbow, couldn't find one locally without the 'package', but turns out I like the red dot. Though I'm not liking a crossbow as much as I'd hoped.

I like lightweight, always have and moreso as I age. I have what I believe is a decent recurve, the Bear Grizzly old model. Got it for 5 bucks many years ago at a yard sale.

Been wanting to try a longbow for a good while and got some input recently on bows around $100. I've been thinking on it some and here's where I'm at now...

If I get one, I'd like to get something as good as the Bear Grizzly, generally speaking. So, can that be had for say $200 - $300? The lower the better of course, but keeping in the performance range of the Bear.

If not, what is the least expensive range to meet that requirement?

What about these 3rivers kits and/or you finish kits or same from another company? I'd rather just get something that is ready to go, but I think I might enjoy doing a build/partial build aside from that.

bla...bla..bla..

So, longbow equal to old Bear Grizzly for less than $300?

Hunting, one piece, thinking 40lb. min. 35lb to meet states laws. No Amazon. Made in the USA.

Also, is this correct? Length for longbow = 2x draw length + 8".

A Historical Defense of Lars Anderson

By
If you've been on an archery forum in the last few years, you've seen the discussions about Lars Anderson and his speed shooting videos. The comments across the internet about his videos are almost universally negative. You wouldn't believe the hate this guy gets. In a way, it's understandable. In his videos, Lars essentially claims that modern archers have lost many of the techniques that made ancient archers so formidable, and that through his readings of ancient archery manuals, he was able to rediscover some of those techniques. He then demonstrates that by using those techniques, he has become the fastest speed shooter alive today. And oh my god, those claims set the archery world on fire. The amount of hate he got then, and continues to get, is insane.These are VERY bold claims, and it's only natural to be skeptical. However, I find most of his critics to be disingenuous. And through my own readings of the early archery writings, I find that Lars is a lot c...

Will a whisker Biscuit work on a Martin Jaguar takedown?

By
I have a old Martin Jaguar take down that i bought years ago on a sale I and rarely shot it. Mostly because it felt very heavy to me with a 45lb draw weight as a young teen, when I also had an easy to pull back compound. Any ways the bow has been sitting collecting dust and I would like to use it again. The model came with a crappy plastic arrow rest and I was wondering if I could added a whiskey biscuit to it without any issues? submitted by /u/sigrug [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3dWFgF8 via

Which Sites are Recommended for "Advanced Newbies"?

By
Hello there fellow archers, I'm newish to archery as a hobby and could use a little advice. When I first decided I wanted to give it a shot (sorry, I had to make that pun), I bought a highly reviewed, newbie-friendly, bow on Amazon. But... Just today, the 50" takedown bow I ordered completely broke, I cracked the handle, tore the bowling, have hairline fractures in both limbs, and probably a few more things. So anyway, I have a couple questions about what sites are recommended for "Advanced Novices" like myself. I'm pretty good, not great, but I do get a lot of enjoyment out of it as a hobby. So here's my questions: Which sites do you recommend for buying a much more reliable bow than the one I found on Amazon. The one from Amazon was rated as 55-60lbs, and since I broke it, it leads me to believe that I'd need a bow that's draw-weight is rated as something like 60-65lbs or 65-70lbs. My wife and I are on a pretty tight budget, so we can't a...
