Just bought a bow and some arrows
    #25335568 -

:jolly:

It's a 25lb recurve bow, 62".

I got a target too! And 6 feather arrows!

I used to own a rifle but gave it to my brother after having some suicidal thoughts involving it. I don't hunt and got the rifle for target shooting, but never did much of it.

From 10 yards away!

Good thing I looked up some tips and tricks, or else my forarm would have gotten a beating from string slap. Gotta rotate that elbow!

I should probably go take some lessons or something. I didn't have any trouble hitting my target, once I figured out how to aim.

dude you don't need lessons pull back line up through your peeper and let it fly. shooting bow is so awesome I'm envious I wish I had time to shoot like the old days. my dad used to take me to this one place that did projection hunts it was pretty cool. they have different hunts that come across a projector and you use special tips that don't damage the screen and it records all your shots. and yeah welts from a bow suck I feel yah on that.

I got a big one! You can see it in the pics there.

I'm having a lot of fun, have probably shot 100 arrows or so. I'm glad I looked up those tips and tricks, or else I may be missing a lot more that I am. First arrow I shot went way high, then I remember the video that says it's common for beginners to aim too high, so I aimed my next arrow at the ground, and it hit the target!

wait till the day when you've shot so much that you break a string at full draw.  fucking hell.

or, buy and use string wax, inspect the string regularly, and replace the string about once a year if you continue shooting a lot.

it's also immensely satisfying to make a bow from scratch.  there are a lot of teks out there.  you can even make one from a 2x4 purchased at the hardware store, but learning to ID osage orange and keeping an eye out for a nice specimen will give you just about the best bow one can make.

I've been shooting a lot the past few days. I searched online for some sights and maybe some sort of DIY version of a bow sight. I'm really surprised at how a simple toothpick taped to the riser improves accuracy. Still only shooting at about 10-20 paces, but now that I've added a toothpick sight, my arrows are grouping more consistently, boosting my confidence and making me think about stepping back to further distances to set up more sights.

I'm having a lot of fun. My target is wearing out, arrows are starting to penetrate all the way through and some are flying out the other side. On the opposite side there are targets that are away from center, I'll have to starting shooting at them if the center of the target continues to wear out. I've also thought about something I could put into the back to better stop the arrows without doing them harm. I'm thinking maybe a t-shirt stretched across the back.

what type of target are you using?  bag type?  sometimes you can mate a piece of rigid foam to the back, but you should probably just invest in a better one if you see yourself sticking with this hobby.

i'm glad you're enjoying it and working toward more skill.  it really can be a relaxing and centering activity, calming and focusing the mind.  i loved to shoot before i blew out my shoulder.  everything from ready-made and homemade recurves to a compound i inherited when my bother died.

i pulled that bow out last fall and tried shooting a couple times after checking out a buddy's new bow...that old thing of mine is set at ~70# draw weight with only ~50% letoff and shoots about 100 ft/s slower than modern bows.  at full draw you're holding around 35# and it's a motherfucker.  i harvested about 20 deer with that bow which is about 10X less than he did before he died.

my buddy's new bow shoots at 300 ft/s, is 70# draw, and has 80% letoff so you're only holding around 14# at full draw.  the sound it makes compared to mine is like a mouse fart VS a firecracker.

anyway, rambling, maybe look into the foam block type of targets. you'll pay around $55 to $85 for a good one, but it will probably outlast your bow.

cool cool.  mostly saying that i've never seen it and it seemed odd to me when i tried to envision using one on a recurve.  but i never used a peep sight on a compound, either, just a kisser button.
