Archery
Do we have any COTEP archers in the house?
I have an itch that needs scratching. I want to learn how to shoot a bow. So, looking for advice on gear and equipment for a total newb to the sport. I don't "plan" on hunting with it, just mainly backyard fun. What bow (type) should I look at to learn? I know I need to get "fitted" for the right size. Is that something I can do or should I seek professional assistance? Any advice will be appreciated. |
Lisa still not letting you reload, huh?

Nah, I have a pig to hunt . :D

I realize this is not help but I tried long bow a few years back because I was given one. Couldn't hit crap with it. Tried my brothers big boy bow and was actually worse...terrible. I gave up. Sold the long bow and never looked back. I wish I would have stuck with it or gotten some pro help or something though. Would like have the ability to shoot in back yard......
lesson learned... |
Not a hunter, yet, but I have a recurve and a compound that I got about 30 or more years ago.
I wound up being ok with them. While not a professional, nor can give you any good advice, it was a lot of fun. So much so that I recently looked into getting back into it with my daughters. |
No one has answered his question. He wants our opinion on whether he needs "professional help." :D

Talk to Barbie, she has/had a daughter in arrow flinging!

I have a compound and a crossbow. I have the crossbow because with the bow, the deer have an outstanding chance to live.
I like huntersfriend.com and the Diamond Infinity bow. It's very adjustable, so you can start at low weight and move up to hunting poundage over time, without a bow vise. Unfortunately, my granddaughter liked it too, so now she has it. There are "better" bows, but the deer won't care. |

I'm leaning towards a crossbow but, which one do you think is more user friendly for a beginner? |
