Gear Advice for Totally New and Very Tall

By

Hey folks, I'm a rather tall guy with an 86" wingspan (7ft 2in or 218cm).

I'm interested in starting Archery practice with the goal of eventually bow hunting.

Based on what I've read so far, my wingspan suggests I should have a 34.5" draw length.

Based on guides I've found online, I'm seeing recommendations to start with a takedown bow, but I'm not certain if there will be any arms available in commercially available (non-custom) takedown systems that accommodate my draw length. (I've done some searching but haven't located any yet).

Secondary concern is arrow selection. I'm finding carbon arrows up to 34" in length (but not any longer, yet). Assuming this journey doesn't take me in the direction of a reduced draw, I definitely don't want to shoot myself in the wrist :).

Should I be approaching this from a different direction? Interested in any pointers the archery community has to share.

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...

Are my new arrows overspined?

By
Are 400 spine, 27" arrows overspined for 30 pound draw weight? The guy just picked the arrows, cut them and gave them to me. my old arrows were 500 spine, 32" so when I said that they looked overspined, he just shrugged and said "the chart says they're ok". Can anyone confirm my doubts? submitted by /u/Astaziel [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3pmjVLf via
