I've found a local archery spot. What to buy to start out?

By

Hey! Long time lurker. So I've wanted to get into the world of arrow shootin' for YEARS. And I've found an indoor archery area here in town, and I think I'd like to start with some lessons. The conflict is I don't have a bow, or anything for that matter.

Where should I start when looking for a good quality budget bow?

I don't plan to hunt with it just yet (5 year goal) but when that bridge comes, I'm happy to get a bow specifically for hunting Bucks/ ELK.

For now, I'd love something for target practice, and to get the hang of archery until I'm financially ready to upgrade to something longer term.

With this beginner/ intermediate bow, I see it being the only bow I purchase for a minimum of 5 years, and I'd love for it to match the quality for price. As a full time wood worker, I've considered strongly making my own longbow to start, but jeez, I really don't have the time, and I'd rather support someone of quality versus being cheap about it and waiting another year before it can cross my bench-hairs 🤣 any help would be amazing!

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&#
