How to begin Archery

  When most people here the word sports, they think of the common sports, Baseball, Football, and Soccer. Most people haven't discovered Archery, my personal favorite sport. If you want to become an archer, there are certain guidelines that you must follow. First, you must buy a bow. I recommend a bow with a draw-weight of 30, that is the standard beginner bow. Remember, draw-weights aren't the same when it comes to the modern compound bows and the classic recurve and longbows.I use a recurve ow with a draw weight of 60. Don't skip ahead to a heavy draw-weight, it takes time to build up the right muscles. If you use a classic bow, you will need a armguard to prevent the bowstring from cutting into your skin. When you nock an arrow, there will be a small metal indicator showing you where to clip the arrow on. When you go to draw the bow, you want to place your forefinger on top of the arrow and your other two fingers underneath the arrow. You want your thumb ontop of your smallest finger. You don't want to let go of the arrow, but to let the bowstring to slide out of your grip. Aslong as you follow these steps, you can become a archer.
