Thoughts/Recommendations on Beginner setup

By

Hello Everyone.

I’ve been looking at getting into Archery for a while and finally decided to pull the trigger. Been reading up on a lot of things for beginners, including the “first bow” posts on here.

I want to use a recurve, primarily for target shooting as a hobby, and maybe eventually using it to hunt (never been, but my uncle has been bugging me to go with him for a while).

I initially thought about getting one of the basic beginner recurves like the Samick Sage, but decided to get a little more advanced one that will last longer. Here’s what I plan on getting, and just looking for any comments or recommendations on other options, if there is anything I should avoid on here, or if there is anything additional I need to get to start.

Already signed up for lessons a few weeks out so hoping to get everything in before that (everything on this list is in stock).

  • Sanlida Forged A7 riser (blue, 25”)
  • Akusta Breeze Glass Foam Recurve Limbs, Med, 24# (pretty much the only one in stock at the draw weight I was looking for)
  • Flex Archery PRO Recurve String
  • Shibuya DX Pressure Button
  • Avalon Tec One Sight
  • Shibuya Ultima Recurve Rest

Extras - Avalon Bowstringer - Avalon Classic Flexible Arm Guard - Avalon Classic Quiver

Thanks!

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'
