Trying to get into the sport but I have questions

So recently I’ve been trying to get into archery, I found out there was a pro shop/range 3 mins away from my house and that made me even more interested in wanting to play. He recommended either the Stinger max or Brute Nxr packages which come down to about a $200 difference just for the bow. Every time I ask for what I should be looking for in a bow he says “whatever feels right”.

What would be a better bow to start out with for just shooting at the archery range? Thank you so much

Shooting 40lb recurve with fingers

I’ve been competing with a 20lb genesis bow for 3 years and just graduated. I am used to using a three finger release and have always done so without a glove. However, i have recently purchased a 40lb recurve which i intend to hunt with but i have found that it hurts my fingers after only maybe 20 arrows. I have a glove but I can’t shoot well with it because it messes up my release (why i never used it with genesis). I had a similar problem to a lesser extent when I started with my genesis but after a while it stopped bothering me. Will it cause any damage to my fingers to continue shooting without a glove? And if so, can you recommend any other options for protecting my fingers or should I just try to make my glove work? submitted by /u/Shmoop-Dog [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3kQK7dh via

Troubles with Thumb Draw...

Hello fellow archers! TLDR: I can't get my arrows to fly straight while using thumb draw. Please help! I started my archery journey for real last year with recurve. I loved it and I have become so much better than when I started. I've been using split finger, Mediterranean draw. My form is good and my arrows always fly straight and stick straight into the target. All I can see of the arrows is nocks and feathers when they're in the target. That's where I want to be. That makes me happy. Thumb draw, however... I have been practicing with it for a few months now. I've been using both Alibow's Mongolian fiberglass bow and their laminated Turkish bows. Both bows are 30# at 28" I have both a leather and plastic thumb rings that fit well. I've been shooting tight groups with thumb draw but my problem that I can't seem to fix on my own and can't learn from videos is that my arrows are always sticking in at an angle. I've tried Khatra, changin...

Help me identify a problem with aiming.

So im trying to learn how to gap shoot, but the problem is, the first step is 'use the tip of the arrow'. Now when I do this, I can already tell before shooting that if I use the tip of the arrow, the shot will go way left, this is obviously before even factoring in the gap above and below the target. I don't have too much trouble grouping in the yellow at 10ms, but the way im 'aiming' is just looking at the target and knowing that I need to shoot a certain distance to the right and a certain distance down. Im not using the arrow tip here...its hard to say exactly what im using as the reference its just a feeling I guess? I wouldn't say its instinctive as im definitely trying to aim I just don't know how im doing it, and I don't think it would hold up as I increase distance so I want to learn how to gap shoot properly. I appreciate having to adjust up or down as thats part of gap shooting, but if im having to compensate right, what could the problem ...
