Love the Bowtech Solution but my budget is $1600, questions...

By

Note this will be my first compound bow ever. However I’ve shot on budget bows at a rental range enough to know I want this to be a major new hobby for me.

I’ve made the mistake in under buying and going budget in other hobbies, like mountain bikes. It took me five years to realize that a $6000 Ripley Ibis is 100% a worthwhile expense for the trails I ride.

That all said I thought a $1200-1600 budget would suffice until I went to a local shop and fell in love with a Bowtech Solution in pure black. I love the look of it and the feel of it. But then I saw it’s like $1200 with absolutely nothing else included.

To note, I plan on shooting at a range at least once a week going forward for 2-3 hours.

I had absolutely no problem drawing at 70lbs with a 90/10 ratio. In fact it felt kind of fun. I’d like to concentrate on building skill at that weight.

I have two questions: - is there an alternative to the Solution you’d recommend that is more akin to $800? - if not, if I bought the Solution, how should I create a remaining budget for all of the accessories I need? What would you suggest?

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.

A guide to dealing with target panic

By
I wanted to make a contribution to the useful copy pastas/reference guides, so here's an unofficial guide to target panic. It used to be that target panic was the affliction that must not be named. It was seen as something unescapable, something that could very well end an archer's career. Fortunately, we now have a much better understanding of what target panic is and how we can treat it. This has made it much easier to discuss it. Which is a very good thing, because target panic is common. If you're reading this, you probably have (had) it yourself or know someone who has it. What is target panic? Target panic is basically your brain going on auto-pilot. A very dumb auto-pilot. There are two basic flavours: The premature release type. You go through your shot process as usually, but before you reach anchor your body is like RELEASE! LOOSE! LET THAT ARROW FLY! And whoosh goes your arrow, towards a spot it wasn't supposed to go. The can't release type. You&#
