At Home On The (Archery) Range

At Home On The (Archery) Range

Summary: Though the article is 26 years old, it has some great information for beginning archers. Some of the things that have changed are:

1. There are now mechanical releases that do a much better job than archery gloves.
2. You don’t need as large of an area as they state to begin shooting (over 40 yards). However, you do need a large backstop that is capable of stopping your arrows.
3. Beginning costs are higher than stated. However, you need to remember that the article is 26 years old.
4. You can get beginning compound bows at a much lower poundage (25 pounds) than is given in the article.

Overall, I would say this article gives some good basic first steps into the world of archery.
