I hear good things about these guys for bowstrings
http://www.flemishbowstrings.com/ After you get your string, any decent archery shop should be able to get you set up with arrows and other shooting accessories. |

As you guys can guess I'm new to Archery. I did have a bow in Nam...yes I'm old.
I doubt that I will hunt, but would like to try my hand at Targets, and of course if the zombies come down the block and my Glock blows up.... I'm 75 miles from a large city so was looking for a place to mail order supplies. Thanks |

I'm 75 miles from a large city so was looking for a place to mail order supplies. Thanks This video illustrates a couple ways to measure your draw length and arrow length. Having a consistent anchor point is going to be the most important thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdV8suofTsM I wouldn't imagine the process is a whole lot different between compounds and recurves, other than your 45# bow is only 45# at a specific draw length (say 28"), if your draw length is longer, the poundage will be higher. Easton has a good shaft selection tool that has input for recurve bows. http://www.eastonarchery.com/products/selection_hunting For example I shoot a 29" draw length bow, and I buy 30" arrows. This gives you a little space in front of your bow hand for when you have a broadhead installed, you don't want to have arrows too short and draw a razor sharp broadhead across your hand. Hopefully some of this helps. |
