Today was my first day of recurve archery! A few questions:

I bought a Southwest Archery Takedown Recurve, with a 29# draw. Is this an appropriate size for a 5ft8 male? It seemed easy enough to use, and didn’t feel too big.

What brand/kind arrows should I be buying? I got 6 CarbonTrad 550 arrows by victory, and they felt expensive after I started ruining the fletching. Also, what’s the right price to pay for retipping practice arrows? Should I learn to do that myself?

All in all I had tons of fun and can’t wait to go again, I’m gonna maybe buy a better finger guard and a more comfortable wrist guard too. Mine started to itch quickly. Recommendations?

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

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 . If there's any other top end sights you think are better, let me know. I want this to be the first and last sight that i ever buy, and price doesn't really matter. 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

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?
