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

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?

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?

Are my new arrows overspined?

Are 400 spine, 27" arrows overspined for 30 pound draw weight? The guy just picked the arrows, cut them and gave them to me. my old arrows were 500 spine, 32" so when I said that they looked overspined, he just shrugged and said "the chart says they're ok". Can anyone confirm my doubts? submitted by /u/Astaziel [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3pmjVLf via
