New to archery but still have quite a shaky grip on my bow, how to improve?

By

I am going to the archery club at my uni and tried out a few different club bows until I got my own which is 70" and 14lbs. I wanted something 20-30lbs because I am a newbie and quite skinny so I can't pull back a heavy bow. However, I am 6ft2" so I am a bit taller so I needed a longer bow. I tried borrowing someone's bow sight today and even though I was aiming at the target and looking through the eyepiece I kept missing every time. Only got near the target I was aiming at once.

They kept adjusting it for me cause they knew more how to do it. Though even when I aim without the sight it is hard for me to hit the target. Is it normal to be this bad this bad early on? I know that you need years of practice to get any good and most people start archery when they are kids or something. I did get my own target and gear from Merlin's Archery (in the UK) so I will practice more on my own as well. But I still can't stop my arms/hands from shaking a bit when I pull the bow back fully. But if I don't pull it fully back then the arrow won't hit the target but bounce off or miss.

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

By
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

By
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?
