Babby's first bow? Anonymous 11/28/15 (Sat) 10:58:47 No.1153

/out/ is probably completely fucking dead but I honestly don't know where else to ask this. You guys know your shit.

I was planning on getting myself pic related (Taipen takedown bow) as it is cheap but it also seems decent. I want to start doing bow hunting and general archery but I'm not sure what equipment to start off with. I don't want to spend two thousand dollars on a tactikool compound bow and there are very sexy looking recurves out there. I just want to know if any sc/out/s who have experience in archery and bows in general can recommend me some decent first time bows which won't leave me broke.

Also…

>What arrows to buy?

>What to look out for when hunting

>general rules and shit (I know the laws and I have land I'm legally allowed to hunt on. But any advice in general would be apreciated)

>What draw weight for babby's first bow? I have a lot of upper body strength and I know I'll only get stronger over time but I don't want to fuck up and buy something way too heavy to pull. (As if recurves are that heavy, but just a thought.)

General tips welcome too.

Recurve bows are great for starting out as they are generally lighter and easier to pull, and you may be able to use one to hunt small game (water fowl, rabbits, maybe even turkey). If you decide to hunt larger animals, you'd probably need to move up to a compound bow or something with a greater draw weight.

Standard hunting arrows are good for most situations, but just get practice arrows when you're first learning the bow. Check out guillotine arrows if you want to hunt large birds like turkey.

As far as rules go, I'm not too sure. I assume it would be the same as regular hunting (only during season, no killing females, etc.) but you may want to verify.

At least in Denmark rules for bow hunting are very strict, and you have to get sort of an extended hunting permit too.
