I've always wanted to learn to use a bow!! I'm not sure that I have the strength in my hands to pull back the sting, though. And I'm not sure what that string is called but I'm betting it's not "string"
Looks fun.
Took a little break from glass.
Don't know how many of you are familiar with target archery, but I'm pretty proud of myself for not shooting after about 15 years with no sight from 20 yards (60 feet).
Recurve 40# @ 29.5" draw, 31" 500 spine carbons, 100 grain points. Great combination.

Misha, pretty sure it's a string or bowstring Maybe you could use a release aid to help.
I should see what I can dig out of the recesses of my shed. Pretty sure I buried my bow when I brought home my torch. Also pretty sure I would wreck my shoulder....

I used to shoot a long bow when i was a kid. It was super fun, untill i had to find the arrows haha.
My friend's backyard, back in the day . . .
Shoot arrow straight up, lose sight of it, run for cover under a detached camper.
Haven't used a bow since high school...20 something years? But definitely was fun! Don't know if I could stay steady with a recurve at this point so props to you Kris! Misha, if you really want to try and are worried about strength check out a compound bow. They have pullies on the bowstring so it takes less to pull it back and completely releases tension when at ready/aiming.
The first step in knowing everything is to admit you know nothing.
Compound bow huh. I'll try really hard to remember that name. I think there might be an archery place not too far from here, I'll look into it. Thanks!
And thanks Kristian for the inspiration.

That looks rad. I totally want to try one!

Right on. Why don’t you shoot compounds?
