Getting my GF her first bow for Christmas!

By

All year my girlfriend has been hinting she'd probably want to start joining me out on my Saturday morning shoots in the desert.

Well, I figure this Christmas, I'll give her a gift that we can both enjoy - more together time + archery!

My question to you lovely archers:

What size bow do I get her and what draw weight should it be?

She's 5'5" and kind of a tiny little thing (but super fierce and will take down all comers), with a 64" arm span (both arms stretched out on each side).

​

I want to get her a bow that is LEGIT, but also a good starter bow, yah know? One that she can draw back and start learning with, but can also reach a 30 yard target with ease.

​

I was thinking a 64" bow (26" draw length), with a 25 pound draw weight? (I kind of want to try 30 pound draw weight but don't know if that's a bit much for her to start with.)

​

Anyways, literally any input will be helpful before I make the purchase! Thank you so much in advance!

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
