Archery

[Mark Bolam]

Anyone here into archery?

 

I used to do a bit years ago.

 

I recently bought the big twin a cheapo kids set, but my internet browsing has bought up several well priced adult starter kits.

 

I’m not looking to do comps or anything, just mess around really.

 

Any tips on draw weights etc. welcome.

I know nothing of Archery, I could send you the phone number of a Lad I work with occasionally who goes to a Archery Club... he's so boring I'm sure that it would sour our relationship.

I’ve got a 10lb recurve bow for my 11year old daughter, bit under powered she says.

I know of a archery shop at crick near chepstow done a breakdown there.went in the shop a guy was spending £1500 on archery gear not a cheap sport

[Mark Bolam]

I know you can spend thousands.

The kit I’ve seen is a oner!

Let me start by saying I know nothing ,nada etc about bows and arrows, however if this was an axe would you recommend they bought best Chinese or bought a quality secondhand that should keep its value if in six months it was not used and if it was used would perform excellent,just my thought!

[Mark Bolam]

It depends.

If someone wanted to start selling logs I’d say get a Gransfors.

If they wanted to smash up a couple of pallets I would say get some cheap Chinese shit off the internet.

 

I’m pretty sure my archery endeavours will fall into the second category….

I shoot quite a bit. Got a few bows of different sizes. How tall are you.?

My first instinct is don't buy that kit. You don't need to spend loads but you don't really need a quiver. . If you can shoot properly you don't need an arm guard.. Finger Protection is optional. I never bother but finger protection like pictured in that kit will make it hard to hit the side of a bus.
