Great support you got there!

I really do. Hubby wants to get me the equipment, mom even wants to start practicing with me. And dad is going to create a practicing set up at our countryside land.

What kind of bow are you thinking?

I haven’t touched a bow in 20 yrs but I enjoyed.

I have no clue 😂 my idea is to go to the store and ask for an advice. I wanna try old school, nothing fancy in the beginning. Do you have any tips?

Used a recurve for archery it will fatigue you faster. Maybe a simple compound bow and its nice because theres a sweet spot where the power kinda sits and you can hold it with little effort until you let go.

Above all get a wrist guard or you will not enjoy the experience

I know i need a wrist guard from the beginning because these wrists have been through some real shit and must be protected at all costs. Also protection for fingers was on my mind, and a shoulder? Do i need that?

Simple compound was what I was looking at, good to know I’m on the right track

I personally found finger guards “numbing”, i like the feel of the bow but I was not doing more than 50 shots per session. As for shoulder I am not familiar.

Good idea, start low & build up, skip the compound until after you have good form.

Don't get me wrong they are faster & are tack drivers but also complex & can mask issues.

Be careful! What arrow-weak monster is everyone afraid of that they hope you'll slay? 🧠+🙏🏻

Have fun it's a blast+cool peeps🤙🏻
