Good grief!
Spent last couple of days looking at archery videos. Figured it would be a good idea as when was younger doing it, we had bows we shot them. Wasn't really anything technical. So you can well imagine my shock when started looking into it. So got a couple of questions. 1: am I better off learning how to use a bare bow. The sight looks fancy and stuff but is it practical for hunting? It would seem to me from what I've seen on utube that the quickest shooters don't use sights. Those that are good without sights seem hell accurate anyway. Are sights worth it, if target shooting isn't my end goal. 2: what lb pull would be good for small game, rabbits etc. I'm under the impression that lighter bows are easier to shoot and a 60lb bow is probly overkill for blunt tip pest control. Would this be correct and if so what would be a better lb draw? 3:should I be watching these Olympic shooters videos on bows. They have great tips and advice on maintaining, bow set up, shooting stance etc but are they the best for hunting technic. Any advise appresiated |

If your going trad best to start with a lower poundage bow. I know a guy who shot his first deer many years ago with a 17lb bow. Also a low poundage bow will allow you to learn how to shoot it correctly.
To add to the list of videos watch the below. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nr3F96kqv9k |
