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!

Happy St. Crispin's Day!

Battle of Agincourt From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ​ Part of the Hundred Years' War Date 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day) Location Azincourt, County of Saint-Pol (now Pas-de-Calais) Result English victory ​ The Battle of Agincourt French: Azincourt was an English victory in the Hundred Years' War. It took place on 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day) near Azincourt, in northern France.[b] The unexpected English victory against the numerically superior French army boosted English morale and prestige, crippled France and started a new period of English dominance in the war. ​ After several decades of relative peace, the English had resumed the war in 1415 amid the failure of negotiations with the French. In the ensuing campaign, many soldiers died from disease, and the English numbers dwindled; they tried to withdraw to English-held Calais but found their path blocked by a considerably larger French army. Despite the numerical disadvantage, the ba

New Archers: What information do you need to know, and how do you find it?

By
One thing that I love about this community compared to other online archery forums is that it's got a good mix of experience. It's also where a lot of new archers seem to come for advice when starting out. That's great! However, it can be frustrating to give good advice without the correct information. Every body is different, and so every archer's setup and starting point is going to be a little different too. Eye dominance: For any shooting sport, it's important to know which eye is dominant because that's the eye that you will naturally aim with. There are several different tests that you can do, but the one that I've found to be most simple is to hold your hands up with your fingers and thumbs extended and overlap them so that they make a triangle. Look at an object in the distance through that triangle. Then you can either close each eye (one at a time) or bring your hands back to your face while continuing to look at the object. The eye that keeps

A Historical Defense of Lars Anderson

By
If you've been on an archery forum in the last few years, you've seen the discussions about Lars Anderson and his speed shooting videos. The comments across the internet about his videos are almost universally negative. You wouldn't believe the hate this guy gets. In a way, it's understandable. In his videos, Lars essentially claims that modern archers have lost many of the techniques that made ancient archers so formidable, and that through his readings of ancient archery manuals, he was able to rediscover some of those techniques. He then demonstrates that by using those techniques, he has become the fastest speed shooter alive today. And oh my god, those claims set the archery world on fire. The amount of hate he got then, and continues to get, is insane.These are VERY bold claims, and it's only natural to be skeptical. However, I find most of his critics to be disingenuous. And through my own readings of the early archery writings, I find that Lars is a lot c
