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".

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...
