      in reply to: Longbow vs. Recurve techniques. #35275

      I already have an arm guard. I have also learned the joys of string connecting with flesh. LOL!:D I will always wear a guard. I had my brace height set a little low I think and got myself right above the crook of my arm:P. I have to rotate my arm just right to not hit it it would seem. I am sure I am doing something wrong form wise but I am VERY new to archery. Maybe someday I can get together with somebody who has some experience and get some pointers. Until then I have Youtube and the forums. Thanks again everyone for your replies.

        Thanks Robin. I will keep that in mind. I was probably at almost 200 arrows by the end of last night. I am a little over eager at times.:oops:

          Ralph. I agree. Variety is the spice of life. I was definitely feeling the challenge tonight. I was shooting at a mere ten yards and was pulling a lot of my shots low left. I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong:oops: I can keep it all in a four inch circle just not where I am “aiming”.:roll: Oh well. More practice!

            Thank you all for the warm welcome. I love the look of a lot of the longbows I have been seeing on the forums. So if I decide to be a longbow kind of guy there shouldn’t be too much re-learning involved? Oh heck I like all bows, maybe I should just have both.:D

              Thanks Fallguy. I guess I will have to find a longbow to shoot now to see if I like it as well as already like my recurve. I am taking a break from shooting out in my backyard at 15 yards right now. I could shoot out to 20 but I would have to clear some stuff out of the way for that. Yes, I have a small yard.:P

                  Thanks for the welcome Mike. Thank you also for the valuable link if I have any questions after reading that I will of course refer back here. I already purchased myself a Samick Sage with #35 limbs. I have only loosed maybe 100 arrows so far. As of right now I have no “real” preference for either type of bow. I chose the Sage based on reviews, recommendations and price. Shout out to Twig Archery http://www.twigarchery.com/ (where I bought my bow)for great prices and service. Buying online can be tricky but it is the cheapest I could find at the time. Thanks again.
