At what poundage do spin wings become an advantage?

By

Eight months in and I've been wondering if there is a point at which the poundage of your bow is/isnt enough to take advantage of any brand of "spin wings"

I use a straight delta wing atm and I'm not sure if spin wings could add an extra ten, or even a single digit improvement on every end I shoot and incrementally improve my score. (For when we get out of our local lock down due to a recent Covid outbreak of course)

This site linked below has given up much of the information I was after and if it didn't answer my question, it led to the answer on a local (to my country's site) selling the type I decided to look at, that did.

I did find a suggested minimum poundage of 35lbs for spin wings, but I closed the link and now cant find it again! So many closed tabs lol

I shoot 34lbs so I'm not going to split hairs about this difference and will get some XS Wings https://www.xswings.com/

Size: 50mm LP

Colour: Metallic Blue

I’ll leave my research on how to fletch them, for when they arrive and do that research on the subject then, and if I need to, design and 3d print something suitable.

I hope this information also helps someone else out there.

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

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'
