Im a beginner archer who wants to make his very first bow but I do not know what wood is the most noviceprove.

My strings and cable have taken a beating on my 2021 Whitetail Legend. This is my first compound bow. Even so, the cable guide seemed like a weak link. I'll be changing the string, cable and guide tonight. I don't anticipate any issues, but always willing to listen to an experienced hand if...

So I've been strictly crossbow hunting for 8 years now and have had plenty of success with bear, deer, and some with spring gobbler. Life story aside, I've been looking for a takedown recurve because I do a lot of off-grid backpacking and it would be nice if I'm able to do some hunting while...

Hey AT, hope this finds y'all well! I had a question regarding the flagship vs. budget bow debate. I did a little googling to see if I could find any particular arguments for/against choosing flagship over a cheaper bow, but couldn't find any answers for my specific conundrum. Where I deviate...

I'm Lindsay - I hunt public land in FL and would like to make things harder on myself :) This past year was my first season really getting into hunting again - my thing is fly fishing. I never hit hunting hard because I didn't want it to take away my fishing time, but I finally dove in and now...

I am new to archery, but I realize there are many factors that can change the flight of an arrow when you go from field points to fixed broadheads. Does anyone have any tips or combinations of field points and fixed broadheads that fly similar so practicing is a little easier. Maybe I'm looking...

Hello everyone, Looking for any and all input. My 14 year old daughter has caught the archery bug ( thank you Hunger Games) and wants to explore archery. I could not be more pleased her interest is in the art of archery and I want to nurture this as much as a father can. I have zero knowledge...

Ok so the more Im get into archery and hunting the more I'm finding I don't really know. Now I'm sure I could find all these answers if I took the time to look through posts but I'll be honest I am kinda lazy in that department. Here are some of the questions I had. I shoot a Hoyt Ignite 27.5in...

Hi all. I have a Bear Tiger Cat, AMO 58, 45#, RMI 14506, Measured tip-tip 60". My research shows that this bow was made between 1964-1978. I emailed Bear Archer for any other specs on this bow, and still waiting. I bough this bow from a coworker back in 1998. Anyway I want to shoot this bow...

Hi, I was given a long bow and I would really love to learn more about archery. The bow is 66 inches (I think) and my draw length is 68" (i think). This long bow that I have I know nothing about. I try to draw the string, but I cannot pull it back far enough. Is this because the bow weight is...

Hello I'm really confused on which arrows to get. Also I'm confused on which specs of the arrow are the best. I'm somewhat new to bow hunting and need some help. I am pulling back a little above 50 lbs and I have a draw length of 30. Also I'm hunting whitetail. Any help is appreciated thanks.

Wondering if my stance and anchor was ok any advice for a noob please . Thanks

I am new to archery and could use some advice on what bow to get. I want a takedown recurve, I'm 6'4" 235# draw weight is not an issue. I just want to make sure I get a bow that is the right size for me. I an primarily going to use it for white tail hunting. I am currently on my 15th year of...

My name is Ted. I am new here, and chose to start a profile here so I can learn more about archery from fellow archers. About me! I am a novice archer. I own a Little Bear recurve bow, and only a few arrows that I got from Big 5 Sporting goods.. I'm not a fan of those because the shafts break...

I am looking for a used compound bow in order to learn how to shoot and use on my first hunting outings for whitetail deer in the northeast. I have never used a bow or hunted before and do not want to invest in a new bow until I develop some skills. I am looking to spend no more than $150.00

I am just getting back into archery after 20 years. I was stunned to see the technology change and differences. I want to spend somewhere around $600 on compound bow. I don't want it for hunting and am having a hard time getting prices to determine what would work best. I am looking for...

Before I ask my actual question, I want to warn everyone that this IS in fact my first first post. I was a long time lurker about a year ago, fell of the map a bit, and have now finally saved enough to actually buy my first bow. I've done some research, but the honest truth is it's all quite...

Okay, so I've been bitten by the bowhunting bug and can't wait for November to get here! My wife has become a fan of watching Outdoor Channel and Versus and gets almost as excited for the fall as I do. She spent some time on-stand with me last year and now tells me she'd like to try hunting for...

60 year old here recently retired. My wife and I have made a permanent move from hot, muggy southeast Georgia to the mountains of north Georgia (Blue Ridge/Blairsville area). I have had a casual interest in target archery for sometime but just never could find the time to do anything about...
