Is it silly to use an expensive sight on a cheap bow?

By

I have a Diamond Infinite Edge Pro that I've been shooting for about 4 years. Over time I upgraded the sight a couple of times. However these were all cheaper sights (less than $100) and were none of them were perfect. The first couple were cheap plastic. My most recent one is an SAS micro adjustable sight but I've only now just noticed some flaws in it. The mount its canted in the dovetail so the sight sits ever so slightly at an angle (I resolved this by shoving a piece of thin cardboard between the rail and the mount as i slid it on which was a pain. This seemed to have straightened it out). Also the pins don't seem to sit in a perfect vertical line from each other. My 20 pin looks like its ever so slightly sitting more to the left than my 30. I don't know how to fix that. I bought this sight a couple years ago and I don't know why these flaws are apparent now.

Anyways so now I'm ready to stop fooling around and just get the sight I really want which is the Spot Hogg Fast Eddie XL single pin. But that sight costs almost just as much as my bow. Does anyone think it's silly to use such a top-tier sight on a beginner-intermediate bow? I was considering buying a new higher end bow first, but my issues with my current sight make buying a new sight a higher priority.

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.

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'
