do we have an archey sub? because we need an archery sub. thats a lit bow btw dude.
I don’t know how to link subs, but there are two, one on lemmy.world and one on lemmy.ml
They need more posts though.
Think I figured it out: https://lemmy.world/c/archery
thank you! thats great! i subscribed.
Gasp. I second this!
I hope the link works!
Woot! Ty!
Never seen a target like that before. That’s cool,what’s it made of?
It is some kind of high density foam sheets, maybe 5mm thick each. I’ll get a closeup pic:
This is a brand new one.
I’ve seen DIY targets like that but with cardboard instead of the foam.
Oh thats a good idea! Friend of mine and i got a big foam target that is basically one big foam block, but this might be easier to fix after a long time of usage!
How much pounds are those bows?
Yep, those targets works very well. The bow is maxed out at 42#
Fuck me haha. And here i am shaking with my 30 pounder haha
I dont use a compound bow thoughI used to shoot a 65#, but at my age it is starting to mess up my shoulders and I struggle to draw back properly more than 30 arrows or so. The 42 is a joy to shoot, I can shoot all day!
You can usually draw a significantly heavier compound than recurve or longbow, because the weight drops off when the bow is fully drawn.
I would say that most regular adults would be able to draw a 42# compound with no prior training.
(Nice bow, too, btw)
Eyyyy! We have the same bow! 💪🔥
It’s a beauty, isn’t it? What poundage do you shoot?
43! :D I actually started on a Bear bow (a friend’s hand-me-down cause we’re both lefties) with 7 lbs a year ago and worked my way up. It’s been such a game changer upgrading to an Altus with a single pin sight!
Oh, and that red is a beaut! Nice bow!
Single pin sight is the next thing I’m upgrading to! Mine is 42#
Oh dude! It’s a game changer! I used to squint and hope that somewhere “between line three and four” was 45 yards. Single pin really makes shots so much more consistent once you’re calibrated.
All good, I just had never thought of that, it’s cool!
Works very well, stops 70# arrows at 10m no problem. Lasts very well too, and easy to repair after the center is shot out.
