First bow advice for my girlfriend

By

My girlfriend and I have been looking at bows lately and she’s shot a few and have narrowed down our search to two bows.

First one is the Mathews Prima, she really liked how the bow shot and felt however with the model she was shooting she was struggling with the draw weight (38lbs). It had 50lb limbs and that was as low as it went. The bow shop said it can be ordered with 40lb limbs that could get the draw weight down to low 30’s and high 20’s. She was able to get it about an inch back from the let off and barely needed any help getting it there.

The other bow is the elite ember, she liked that one as well it’s not quite as smooth as the Mathews but it has a much bigger range for the draw weight and 32lb she was able to shoot consistently and it wasn’t too much for her.

With her being new to archery which way would you recommend going? She really liked the way the prima felt in her hand and how it shot just worried about not shooting one with the exact limbs.

We want a bow that she can grow with and eventually she can start hunting with when she gets some strength built up.

What are your thoughts on the bows and her situation? Price isn’t too much of a concern as long as she’s getting the right bow that’s going to last her awhile. I know Mathews is a great brand but how are the elites? Any advice would be great! Thank you!

Question on bow fit - Mathews V3 31"

By
Long story short: I decided after 2 years to upgrade my used Dreniln. Went in to a local shop and they steered me towards a V3. In hindsight they didn't spend near as much time with me as they should have. Anyway, my wingspan is just under 76" and the bow is set at it's max draw length of 30.5". In order to get a good sight picture and have my nose touch the string, I need to tilt my head down just slightly, which then causes my jaw to change position and a loose a bit of my anchor point. Is this common for a shorter bow, or should I really have gone with a bow that goes to 31" and/or a longer axle to axle to get a better angle? V3s are hard to come by around here so I may be able to recoup most of the cost of the bow if I decide to switch. Not sure what to do. I went back to the bow shop and the guy said "That's the cool thing about archery, some people move there head, lean back, lean forward, it's all a matter of how you want to shoot"...I...

(New?) Dual Takedown Recurve Case Option

By
Before I get to the case. HUGE shoutout to u/FerrumVeritas to all of his fawking awesome posts about equipment, risers, etc. Me and some friends started archery a few weeks ago, and after weeks of looking around and compiling info, the best I could share with my friends are mostly his posts interspersed with my own opinions and analysis in our shared spreadsheet. To the case! Not that I looked, but it doesn't look like anyone has done this yet? I wanted a case, but didn't want to carry around a rifle sized case. Nor did I want something obscenely heavy. I prefer a hardcase, but they were all exorbitantly expensive. I like the look of SKB, and the reviews and reputation is there; but for the price, I don't feel like the value is there. I also wanted something a bit different. Enter the Pelican 1605 Air! Website measurements showed a 25" riser was a tight fit in the Pelican, so I took a gamble that 1/2" of foam was plenty to protect the riser's ends. ...

How To Buy/Make a Portable Target?

By
First post, howdy to all the archers! Here's my dilemma. I'm brand new to archery, and live in California. I'm determined to take my bow out to the desert on BLM land with me on an overlanding trip, but the problem is I can't seem to figure out how to bring a portable target with me. Space is limited in my SUV, and bringing a giant packed archery target bag thing will just take up too much room. Does anyone have any advice or ideas on how to practice some archery out in the desert without lugging around a giant straw target etc? Thanks for any help! submitted by /u/PerfectForTheToaster [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3r0HV99 via
