>>212688>What's your style?mederterranian>What you shooting?pse nighthawk 50lbs>What you hitting?a 3d hog target since im going hunting in 2 weeksi wanna buy an expensice long bow but i want it to have a sight mount.Any recommendations?
>>212740>huntingnice man, got any goals of what you're after?>long bow with a sight mountProbably not going to have much luck, just get a target recurve and you can add as much or as little as you want.
>>212826>got any goals of what you're after?im mostly going to go hog hunting since hogs are plenty. but if a deer walks out i'll be good with that too since it's deer season.>just get a target recurve thank you.That was my original plan.What do you shoot anon?
>>212838>That was my original plan.that was my original plan to buy more targer recurves if i couldnt find a long bow with sight bearings*
>>212688>What's your style?Mainly Olympic recurve but I do shoot asiatic thumb draw at times too.>What you shooting?Main bow is a Hoyt riser and limbs. They're around 10 years old now so I'm thinking of changing them soon.My asiatic bow is a Mariner Ming Moon.>What you hitting?I've done almost exclusively target archery.>Recs for bows?For Olympic recurve, Kinetic does pretty decent budget gear. For higher ends, you can't really miss with Hoyt or Wiawis.>I bought a yumi, oh god, I'm a fucking moron, please help.Why?
>>212838>What do you shoot anon?Right now I just moved to a place that has a club nearby so I am just shooting my small asiatic horsebows. Fun, but I need to redo the nock point>>212852Is your Hoyt ILF or will you get a new rig?>Why?Weeb intentions, also I always thought they looked cool. Not really worth the hassle unless you want a very relaxed shoot or want to stand out at every comp ever.
>>213320>Is your Hoyt ILF or will you get a new rig?It's Formula, but I don't really mind sticking to it. They're expensive but pretty good.>Weeb intentions, also I always thought they looked cool.I've considered getting one for some time, but the fuck huge size puts me off.
>>212740saturday...soonwaking up before dawn to avoid my crazy uncle.Lots of legal shit going on with the land.My cousin has given us permission to use his land though
>>213763we saw 2 hogs and three deer.All out of range.I literally started having a coughing fit as one of the deer approached the feeder
Does any of you compete in official shoots? If yes, what kind?
>>213328Would not recommend, it is more hassle than it's worth.>>213889Pics of what your bow was?>>214255Not yet, but indoor comps start soon, and I want to get involved in that.
What's the bare minimum poundage for a warbow?
>>214430>Not yet, but indoor comps start soon, and I want to get involved in that.Recurve or compound?>>214712Depends on the "warbow" you're talking about. In Tod's workshop video about testing arrows against plate armour, the archer said he thought the average poundage for a european longbow was around 150-160, and he could shoot up to 200, so I'd assume the lower end would be around 100.For Asian recurves, they tended to be lower in poundage, as they were way more efficient so didn't require the same poundage. I can't remember where I read or heard it, but Koreans apparently didn't go over 60. Meanwhile, late Chinese bows could get to 100, so I'd say 50-60 would be on the low end of the spectrum?
>>214716thank you
>>214255I used to shoot for my national team and won international tournaments, was on track to compete at the olympics but injured myself. Thinking about getting back into it, but I'm the type of person that would only want to do so if I were to do it seriously again.>what kindRecurve
