Beginning Archer Values Your Advice

by 82 Year Old Beginner

I am 82 years old and just started archery with a recurve bow of 19 pounds weight. I can only reiterate what you said regarding the fact that men in particular have a tendency of wanting a power bow much beyond what they can actually handle with ease.

The bow I have which a bow maker loaned to me for learning the basics is perfect because not only do I make fantastic progress rapidly but more important, having fun doing it. No muscle pains, no stress I can concentrate 100 per cent on my routine.

I am having a long bow made to my measurement I.e. Draw length 26 inch at 26 lbs weight. It is better to hit the target slowly than miss it fast.

Congratulations for your excellent advice!
