Dear /ASP/,
This is my first visit to your board so I'm going to ask you for forgiveness in regards to any cultural faux pas. I've come here today from /k/out/ to inquire about the sport of Archery. I've done some research but am hoping to ask questions to people who've actually fired arrows before to get feedback.
I want to begin either Archery or Precision Shooting and given I don't need a permit ( excluding black-powder rifles ) for a bow I figured that is where I'd begin. What kind of bow should I buy? I've heard it is best to start with a recurve bow because it actually forces you to learn archery where compound bows easily allow you to form bad shooting habits that don't work with other archery platforms. I've also heard quality recurve bow start at "around $100."
Can anybody tell me what the differences is between level 1/2/3 coaches? I was looking up ranges, instructors and clubs using www.usarchery.org and noticed most of the clubs in my area were for youth only. I then went to find instructors in my area only to find the are classed by 1/2/3 but no information ( to my knowledge ) was offered as to the differences in level.
Do you know of any good brands of bow/crossbow for a beginner and which shops should I be looking in form them? I know lots of places like Dick's and Scheels are around but I don't know anything about picking good bows and the like. Are there any tools I should look for when I buy my bow as well?
How do I maintain my bow once I have it?

You could also try /his/, they have weapon threads from time to time.
If you do, link me. I was thinking about picking up archery too, but as with any kind of martial art/weaponry, the internet is full of wannabe elitists who spout nothing but obvious bullshit.
And the local club only allows visitors at the first Thursday of the month at a time where I can't make it ;_;

/out/ and /k/ have archery threads too
>>1126207
I actually wasn't aware of /out/ having archery threads. There are even two up right now.
Thanks Anon.
>>1126209
Thanks indeed, I had no clue. God bless you, Anon, I must have missed them.
this is now a King Cuerno thread

I, too, wish I could shoot an arrow as well as I can flail my body
