Recurve Newby with questions about various Target options

By

Im finally getting into archery and am setting up a backyard range. The last thing I need to get is the actual targets... So my question is what is best target that can take a beating from regular use. There are the classic circular straw mat targets like you see in classic robin hood/ren faire tournaments, stacked bales of hay with paper targets pinned to them, or those foam blocks. I plan on spending quite some time working on this so I am wondering just how much punishment these can take. The bale of hay and paper targets will be shredded but cheap to replace. The Straw mats i have no idea how long they will hold up nor what kind of stopping power they have, and the foam blocks are the most expensive option so not sure how well they will last compared to their cost. Any feedback out there?

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

By
So my budget has increased and i decided i'm going for a top-level sight for the target style recurve i'm building. It seems that Shibuya and Axcel are the top end, so for anyone who has experience with either one of them, or preferably both, could you tell me the differences, pros and cons, and which one is the best value? i'm planning on buying the most expensive, so the Axcel Achieve XP - Recurve or the Shibuya Ultima RC PRO Carbon Sight .

Another question, on the Shibuya there's an option for "Single mount" and "Double mount." What do those mean? And lastly, is the sight aperture on either of the sights suitable, or is there better after-market apertures that are better? I'm sort of thinking that is something I should be buying from my local shop so i can actually te...

Is there any reason mediterranean and slavic draw shoot from opposite sides of the bow

By
When the release imparts the same twist on the string? It was my understanding that mediterranean draw has the arrow on the side opposite of the bow of the draw hand because of the twist imparted on the string affecting the arrow on release but that should mean that slavic draw would suffer from that problem. Am I missing something with this? Shouldn't that mean you could use a mediterranean draw on the same side of the bow as the draw hand and not have issues?
