UK Beginner looking for advice on a bow

By

Hi,

I'm looking at getting my first bow and want a Turkish style horse bow.

The bow I'm interested in is:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/AliArchery-Turkish-Horseback-Archery-Traditional/dp/B07ZBCXKDX

The problem is:

  1. I don't know if it's any good
  2. It doesn't seem to give any info on the safe draw length. It only mentions 28", and from measuring (although I know it might not be the most accurate), my draw length from finger tip to finger tip, seems to be around 29" (28 3/4"), so I don't know whether I can even use it?

It seems to look very similar to the AliBow Turkish bow (with almost identical specs), and I have emailed them to find out if that's their bow. The only problem I have, is that since I'm in the UK, I'm looking at ~£50 extra for tax/vat/whatnot, and I'd rather stay around or under £100 for my first bow, especially since I'm only looking at getting a 30lbs one.

Will only be using the bow indoors/own garden.

I'm happy for any suggestions about alternative Turkish bows, but I would ideally like to buy from the UK because of import and etc fees (thank you Brexit).

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...

Is there any reason mediterranean and slavic draw shoot from opposite sides of the bow

By
When the release imparts the same twist on the string? It was my understanding that mediterranean draw has the arrow on the side opposite of the bow of the draw hand because of the twist imparted on the string affecting the arrow on release but that should mean that slavic draw would suffer from that problem. Am I missing something with this? Shouldn't that mean you could use a mediterranean draw on the same side of the bow as the draw hand and not have issues?

Help with a makeshift target for the garden.

By
My sister is buying me a target for Christmas so it would be kind of rude to just go out and buy one and ruin the gift, so in the mean time im making a makeshift target with whatever I have about. So far I have a tall box about 4 or 5 feet tall and 3 ft wide, its about a half ft deep. I've filled it with other boxes and the centre of the target is a box filled with polystyrene blocks, if then added a layer of blankets to the front and back and plugged any space with some old clothes and jeans. Paper target stuck on the front! What im wondering before I shoot at it, is with what ive described is it going to be enough to stop a field tip punching right through if if shot from a 40lb recurve at about 10ms? It will be resting against the brick wall of the house so I really don't want them to punch straight through and hit brick. I do have an old wooden door I could potentially use as an extra backstop just incase? Its an old inside door so mostly hollow inside rather than a so...
