Dry fired my V3 yesterday

Embarrassed the hell out of myself in the middle of a pro shop. I was in there to get the 75# mods on my V3 and wanted to try out a thumb release. The bow tech opened the release I wanted to try and I was so excited to try it, completely forgot to nock an arrow, hit the thumb release and blew my string apart. Immediately called myself a dumb ass and heard a little snicker from somebody else in the shop, which was completely understandable because I was in fact, a dumb ass. They did not have a V3 string in stock, but luckily somebody else had just got custom strings for their V3 27 so I was able to shoot. The bow tech gave the bow a look over and said it looks good, and after shooting it is still shooting well, so hopefully crisis averted. Just thought it was a bit of a funny story and wanted to share, and to spread the well known word, DO NOT DRY FIRE YOUR BOW!

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

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'
