Is a 30lb bow a good option for a 14 year old boy?

I have a 14 year old brother, and I’m thinking about giving him a 30lb recurve bow. I (19M) have a 45lb compound one and it’s really heavy for him, but he seems interested in archery. Btw he is a skinny kid, about 5’1” tall. I don’t want to give him a very light bow because he’s still growing and I’d like to give him a bow that he could still use for a few years before switching to a heavier one. I’ve never shot a 30lb bow. Do you think it would be a good idea for him?

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

So my budget has increased and i decided i'm going for a top-level sight for the target style recurve i'm building.

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?

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
