1. That's cool that he can adjust from 10-70. Why is the one I showed so constricted? 50-75? Seems bad
  2. Different bows are designed for differrent uses. A bow with a narrower weight range may be faster, but less adjustable. I really think more adjustable bows are best for starters. As for arrows, they can be made of carbon fiber or aluminum. Carbon is lighter (& consequently faster) while aluminum is more durable. I am not clear on your description of a "wooden target". Do you mean that the entire target face is made of wood or just the frame?

  3. You have a very good point there! Hmm.. The 50-75 seems really nice. But it's probably best to get one that is more adjustable.

    Hmm, carbon sounds good. What do you use?

    The wood I'm referring to a 3D animal target. The surface is wooden at least. But I'm not sure

  4. I actually searched on a second hand site. There was A LOT of bows.. I never knew.

    There was some nice bows there. I might consider it. I could get a bow cheaper than market price

  6. It was fun. We shot 30 arrows & I scored 224/300. I also managed to outshoot a couple of other archers.
  7. And you didn't have to steal their candy even once. :D

  14. OK, that bow REALLY needs a sight adjustment.

  15. @Sara-s , I just watched this video on the Archer's Paradox. It is very interesting. Also, for a bonus, towards the end (about 7:25), the guy shoots the head off of a cartridge razor. Cool. Check it out.
