Hate to see an empty community… So what are you people shooting? Where? For how long?
Just found this community, yay. Olympic style recurve here :)
Hope this community grows as I love the sport
I recently retired from my country’s national recurve team after ~5 years of training/conpeting, so I’m taking a vacation for now but I intend to continue shooting recreationally. I’m sure I will shoot some more Olympic recurve, but mostly I want to go back to shooting traditional, and try barebow too.
I’m from Canada, been shooting for about 6 months now. I have an Olympic recurve setup that I started with: Kinetic Arios riser, cheap 30# limbs, basic sight and stabilizers. My current favorite bow is a vintage 1994 Oneida AeroForce that I use for 3D and indoor target shooting.
Compound bow in the woods. I wanted to get ready for hunting but I’m vegetarian so I guess I’ll always just shoot targets :-)
General Kenobi! You are a bold one.
I am shooting bare bow for around 1 year and have two bows.
My starter was a Galaxy Sage with #35 64” limbs from Southwest archery (my draw length is 29.5-30” and the stacking in the 63” limbs was bad).
I inherited a very nice #55 Great Plains Archery Rio Grande from my uncle (he’s not dead yet and does not want to go in the cart, but found out he is left eye dominate). Honestly I am over bowed with it but it is a pleasure to shoot.
Been loving it and am very happy to find a community to hang out with on Lemmy!
