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!

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&#
