Thanks Brother, that link is a great help! Been reading it page by page, great information. I am now leaning towards to a compound bow with 25-30lbs. Thank you.
Any recommendations on brands?

you can determine your draw length from home http://www.learn-archery.com/proper-bow-size.html but it is more accurate when you get it measured at an archery store. after that you need the correct length arrows for your draw.
compound bows would be easier to use and hit with for a beginner but with practice a recurve is just as good.
on poundage since you have to build up the muscles you use to draw with it's best to start with a light weight bow and work your way up. if you start out with a heavy poundage bow then you're bound to develop bad habits that will kill your consistent accuracy. i'd suggest a 25# or 30# bow to start with.
just like firearms proper and consistent technique when drawing and shooting the bow is key if you want to get good with it. there are lots of videos on youtube that can help you here. |
