Where did you go to learn arrow selection 101?

By

I'm buying arrows for the first time since my bow (and arrows) were given to me almost four years ago, and before I do that, I've decided to familiarize myself with all of the things that I had no idea made a difference in grouping and accuracy so that I can make an informed decision about which type of arrows I want to get.

It's all very exciting, and I'm learning a lot. But my teeny issue is each time I open a blog post, I encounter a new acronym or bit of terminology or something that the author assumes I must be familiar with, (that I am most certainly not familiar with.) So, I open a new tab to find the definition, which leads me to another blog post with MORE unfamiliar terminology... lather, rinse, repeat.

I'm currently 13 tabs deep and the rabbit trailing is endless. Which isn't a bad thing! I'm very happy to learn this the hard way, but I'd still like to know if any of you have any particular resources you learned from when you were early in your archery journey that explained the basics of arrow spines, GPI, bow poundage, bow type, and how all of these various components act together to affect the trajectory of a given shot.

Thanks so very much in advance, and happy Sunday to everybody.

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.

A guide to dealing with target panic

By
I wanted to make a contribution to the useful copy pastas/reference guides, so here's an unofficial guide to target panic. It used to be that target panic was the affliction that must not be named. It was seen as something unescapable, something that could very well end an archer's career. Fortunately, we now have a much better understanding of what target panic is and how we can treat it. This has made it much easier to discuss it. Which is a very good thing, because target panic is common. If you're reading this, you probably have (had) it yourself or know someone who has it. What is target panic? Target panic is basically your brain going on auto-pilot. A very dumb auto-pilot. There are two basic flavours: The premature release type. You go through your shot process as usually, but before you reach anchor your body is like RELEASE! LOOSE! LET THAT ARROW FLY! And whoosh goes your arrow, towards a spot it wasn't supposed to go. The can't release type. You&#
