Hi! I'm new here
Dave_in_desert:
Hi! I'm new here. I'm fairly new to archery and chose to go with traditional ways. I shoot an English longbow 40-45# @28". It will teach you how to shoot it. My first time I didn't have my bracer yet. I thought that my coat would be enough to protect my arm. It kind of stung at first, then went numb. I thought it was more the cold weather, but it wasn't. I didn't really feel it until the next day. My arm was swollen and bruised bad near my elbow and half way to my wrist. I didn't try again until after I had received my bracer. I bought the biggest bracer that I could find, but it still didn't fit or cover enough area on my arm. I eventually made my own with 3 ply leather. I still kept hitting my elbow area in front of the bracer. It caused my to change my footing and reposition my body. Now I don't hit my arm at all. So, yeah...it will teach you how to shoot properly and if you forget...it will remind you. I'm doing alot better now. I'm starting to group my arrows on the bails instead of the back of the range. Now all I have to do is hit the targets, lol. :D
