New to archery and left handed

By

I thought I'd just make my own post looking for help.

I've watched quite a few videos at this point and read a few guides but found nothing except amazon links.

I'm a fit adult looking for a hunting recurve/ traditional bow that I can grow into, I've only used the 28lb compound bows that are for rental at the local range and really have the itch now.

I'm looking for recommendations, suggestions or even just things to google so I can set up my first hunting bow and spend some time at the range to get practice.

Like I mentioned in the title, I'm left handed and this has proved to be a challenge in terms of looking for a bow since all the bows I get recommended are either discontinued or only sold right handed. If it's important I'm based in California on the central coast.

More about what I'm looking for; I'm 5'11 and looking for a 62-66" recurve bow, ideally with a 35-45lb draw weight, and looking for a setup that's 500$ or less.

I don't mind spending the whole 500 IF I can find stuff that will help me learn to shoot on a recurve instead of a compound and that I can grow into and eventually take hunting. I'm just hesitant to spend 150$ on a kit. (It can't be that easy to find a quality bow right?)

​

Thanks in advance, I'm just a bit frustrated with my research.

I would take a takedown recurve bow as my primary SHTF/bugout weapon

This is the type of opinion that is subject to change. In the near future, deteriorating political, economic, and social circumstances may result in many people having to rely on weapons to obtain food and defend themselves on a regular basis. Alternately, some people desire to leave civilization for a life of self-sufficiency in the wilderness, perhaps temporarily, and will encounter the same challenges. Generally, firearms are the preferred weapons among people who seek to prepare themselves for these events. I have owned and used a wide variety of firearms over many years and own several right now. 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. It's ad

Having Trouble Figuring out a Backstop Situation

By
When I was around thirteen, I got my first recurve bow, and every weekend I practiced really diligently. I feel like I got pretty good for a casual archer. But having to wait for the weekend and going to the same indoor range just to shoot my bow for an hour or two got boring. So as life got busier, I stopped shooting as much. Alas, this is my sad tale. Now I'm 22, I live in a new area, and got a new awesome 50# recurve bow! The only problem is, I don't have the time or the money to go to an indoor range, and I'd just run into the same problem. I feel like my backyard is big enough, I called the city and they said so long as I'm not shooting at other people's houses or if I have a large enough structure in the path of my shot, I was clear to shoot in my yard. At the moment I'm looking at shooting at the side of my garage where it's probably around 10ft wide and about as tall. I don't think I have quite 30ft of distance, maybe not even 25ft, but don'
