A Random How-To

1: How to shoot archery.

First, decide which type of archery you want to try. Compound archery is easier for beginners, but the competition is tougher. In compound, you shoot through a magnifying sight that makes it really easy to aim. It is also modified so that aiming at the target is easier. Recurve archery is the main type of archery included in the Olympics. You aim through a sight that is not magnified, and shoot a bow that is not modified, so you might want to start with a light bow if you decide to try recurve. Barebow archery shoots a bow with no modifications or a sight, so it is good for people who want the traditional feel. Compound and Barebow normally hunt. Second, buy a bow that matches your back strength and length of draw. Consult an expert(NOT me) and check if it actually matches you. Then you buy arrows. Not very expensive arrows, as it is possible to completely ruin your bow and arrows on the first month of shooting. Check what brand your arrows are from and the type. Either aluminum or carbon arrows are good for archers. For archery coaching, go to Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley. Ask anyone there who shoots you bow type. Listen to people who have shot archery for a while.
