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.

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...
