My six year old wants to get into archery and I don't know what I'm doing

Hey guys,

I know extremely little about archery, but my son keeps talking about it and seems to really want to learn the sport. I think it sounds like a fun sport to make his own, and want to get him some beginner archery stuff for Christmas. I've been doing some research online, but I know with my own hobbies going to the source has always proved to give the best info on what mistakes to avoid and where to really start.

Does anyone have any advise for a beginner? Any advise for a dad on how they can ensure their kid is set up to grow in the sport? One thing of note here is his main area of interest is bow hunting. He's still young, but I know that's the path he'd likely go down in the long term.

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

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&#
