Hello all! I am new to archery (I don't even own my own bow yet. ) I have really enjoyed it so far and I am ready to make this a regular hobby. I want to know what you wish you would have know about archery when you started. Thanks for any advice!

Hello ArcheryTalk! I just bought a compound bow from my local bow shop, PSE Fever VS RTS. DL 27.5", DW 30lbs to start, LH shooter. Any advise for someone just getting started? What are the must-haves for accessories? I picked up a release and half a dozen arrows to start. I've never shot...

okay, so I am completely new to Archery hunting, I don't even own a Bow. I feel like a fish out of water with all the new information I'm getting from multiple sources. I recently took a trip to Cabela's and had my draw length measured and tried out a few bows for myself the Diamond Deploy SB...

I've been hunting with a compound bow for most of my life, with my share of success. So I wanted to challenge myself more, so I got into traditional archery. I'm still trying to figure everything out and I wrote an article about my learning process...

This bow was straight when I bought it yesterday. I took it to shop to get it strung, and the brace height was right around seven inches (after the Flemish string stretched a half inch in less than two minutes). It's only 35 pounds, and it's been giving me the infamous archers tattoo right...

Hello all, I'm new to the forum and had a quick question. Sorry if it has been asked before, but I did a search and didn't find a question relating to my question. I am new to the world of archery, and have recently purchased a bow, PSE Stinger X from www.huntersfriend.com The folks at...

Hello all, This is my first post here, though I have been lurking for a few weeks. I am looking to purchase my first bow and I have decided that I would like a long bow. I am fairly certain I want the Samick SLB 69" longbow, though I am having trouble deciding on a draw weight. My sister has a...

Hello, I've recently taken up archery and I have a few questions/topics that I am hoping someone will be patient enough to help me with. I've done as much research as I can on my own about these topics and now I need some professional advice if possible. If my assumptions or conclusions are not...

I've been shooting for a few months now, and yesterday was the first time anyone had ever brought up eye dominance to me. Turns out that I'm right handed with a dominant left eye. I was told that if i'm going to use a gap or similar aiming system, that I should definitely switch to a lefty, as...

Hello All, I've recently decided I want to take up archery. I've looked all over for advice on what the best course of action to take is for beginners such as myself but haven't found anything that I'm satisfied with. I know I would ultimately want to use a Recurve Bow as my primary bow. I'm...

Hi. I'm having a slight disagreement with a friend of mine about how to properly use a peep sight. While we both have the same bow (draw length, poundage, sight, peep, everything) He anchors so that his peep rests inside the sight ring. I am the opposite I set the contrast ring inside my scope...

I want to start archery again, but at home (have a field in the backyard), and want an intermediate skilled recurve bow with a medium draw (not max like 55pounds, but perhaps 35-45 since I find I'm quite strong). Does anyone know any good recurve bows around a $100-$200 price range? Good...

Recurve interests me. My Draw is 28 inches(got that by wingspan devided by 2.5), I'm 5'8.. So by the information ive read, most would suggest a 66' for me.. Probably 45lbs, I eventually aim to hunt with it, after a couple years of target practice probably. Thing is i'm finding it hard to find...
