I would prefer a traditional approach rather than a compound bow. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I just took a introductory archery class, and bought a compound bow online. How do I take care of it?

I just got a bow online since im thinking about getting into archery. I thought that it would be easy, but as Im reading theres more and more info. I also cant find what bow I have, and the weight tag is missing.

I have a bear compound bow, and says Black/Mag in small letters on the side. I looked on the website, and theres nothing similar. The serial is BM-15776. The weight pull is high, the guy said it was 50-60, but I would like to reduce it. Is it possible to reduce it down to 25 or less? My girlfriend will be using the bow also, so this draw is MUCH too heavy for her. We used a 10 pound draw during the intro class.

Im only looking to shoot it for fun at targets, no hunting at all. I also read that you need heavy enough arrows so the bow wont get damaged. How do I find out? What kind of bow do I have?

Thanks for any responses

Can anyone give me some beginner archery tips?

At the moment I’m not worried about the actual hunt. I’m more interested now in learning to shoot and get really good at it. I received a Fred Bear Element compound bow for Christmas set at 28″ 60-70lb draw. The archery shop I got set up at set the bow at like 55lbs to start me out…Is this ok since the bow weight says 60-70? Any other advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Snoopy asked:


I am a freshman in high school, and have always been extremely interested in archery. I was looking around the web for where to get started. What should I do first, should I get a recurve or compound bow, how much should I spend, and what are the different types of archery?

Those of you who shoot archery do you prefer to shoot a compound bow or a traditional bow?
