    Tips from me: Try to buy a name brand, that way you get promised quality results and a warranty. 2. For compounds, it is suggested to have a budget of at least 300 usd to get the bow itself. You might find better prices, but it is extremely hard to get something that isn't a toy if you go under that 300 dollar range. For recurves, it's around 150 for the bow either itself or by a package. 3. Consider what will be replaced as soon as you get the bow, for my Diamond Prism, that was my sight. Also consider that if you are new, you will most likely need to factor in lesson prices. 4. If you are new, it might be intimidating to tune a compound right out of the box if you have never dealt with everything, so you need to put in cost of having it set up(preferably for the first time set up by a shop or showed to you by a shop). 5. Consider arrow choices! Aluminum arrows are nice, cheap, and have decent tolerances so they are more forgiving, but you can't beat the durability of carbon arrows. You don't want fiberglass arrows off of amazon, some popular arrow brands are Easton, Gold Tip, Black Eagle, Victory, Carbon express also have nice arrows. Make sure to get the right spine! You can do this if you go to the manufacturer website or getting online help from customer service from stores. If you are a compound shooter, or plan to shoot compound, never get wooden arrows, it can be harmful to you, the bow, and your wallet considering that wooden splinters in your hand or arrows in your hand are not fun. 6. Make sure to get the right target! There are bag targets, foam targets and DIY targets. You can't use broadheads on bag targets, (if buying fletched name brand arrows from a store they don't have broadheads so don't worry most of the time) but their price can't be any better from a major manufacturer like Delta McKenzie, Hurricane targets, Morrell, and Rhinehart. The only con is the weight, which might take freight shipping. DIY targets like the ones you can make online are the best price, since plastic and old clothes can be low cost if not free, but you can't use them if you have microdiameter arrows or small diameter arrows and shooting a high amount of draw weight, they'll have pass throughs and that is dangerous. Foam targets or block targets are nice for the backyard hobbyist, they are light, last a fair bit, and they use can use broadheads while being safe and having easy arrow removal. The con of this type of target is nice targets from say, Block Targets, Delta McKenzie, Morrell, Rinehart, even Black Hole and American Whitetale are expensive. A lot of these targets require extra money for shipping, and they also need a decent amount of cash in order to fit a standard 40 cm target face. At this point, you may be thinking "I don't have a local shop near me" or "Where can I get all of this?!?!?" There are certain big box archery stores that can give you service on buying for the first time and help you get some accessories like quivers, arrows, and other accessories as well as international shipping if you really need it. If you're in the U.K you have Merlin Archery. You have Archery Supplies, and Abbey Archery in Australia. In the U.S. you have options for 3 Rivers Archery( 607 HL Thompson Jr Dr, Ashley, IN 46705) or my favorite, Lancaster Archery Supply (2195-A, Old Philadelphia Pike, Lancaster, PA 17602 ships from Distribution center is at 21 gray bill rd Leola PA.) This is not the only video for choosing your own bow, Nusensei has a guide on picking a bow (he does recurve stuff) and you also have Average Jack Archery, Chris Bee, NockonArchery(multiple time target compound champion John Dudley) and you also have some videos on the stores previously mentioned that are helpful, I only checked out Merlin and LAS(Lancaster archery supply) but Archery Supplies in Australia makes reviews. Thank you for taking the time reading this and have a magnificent day!

    Should do a video on the most minimal but effective bow hunting setup. Most affordable bow that’s realistically going to have no problem killing a deer, most affordable shoes, clothing and bag that’s functions well. I’m trying to start hunting again, thinking using a bow would be cool but I’m not trying to spend a crazy amount of money in the first year.

    Had the bow set up at a pro shop. It performed just fine czcams.com/users/postUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . And I would say this is a good starting now that I could pass down to my son when he is older.But the package was missing the release and a nock was missing from one arrow.Dealing with customer support was terrible. They suggested I buy a new release rather than correct their own quality control issue because it’s to expensive for the. to ship it out from China.Update: manufacturer got back to me and resolved the issue. I retract the above statement.

    Recently increased draw length from 26 to 27 and it feels so much more comfortable. I can't believe 1 inch is enough to feel cramped, I had the shortest release setting and with my draw length I felt cramped, I felt like my anchor along the jaw and the release was off. After increasing that, and getting the bow up to 40 pounds or so, it feels so much better even at 13. I have no problems doing the low draw or getting tired, even though I had my first shoulder injury since I began shooting 4 months ago. And when I mean 4 months, I mean exact. Lancaster Archery website said 8/3/2020 I ordered my first bow and I am loving every single shot. Thank you for your contribution to the archery and bowhunting community :)

  • @victor-emmanuel7485

    Hardest thing for me now is to decide wether to get a recurve first to see if I like it, or a compound instead. I have to say; I’m really enjoying all your videos (and the compound bow community on yt in general). The whole technical/ tuning side of it and the high-tech aura surrounding them looks really interesting to me. On the other hand; we can’t bow hunt in Belgium, there are not many bow shops, and there is’nt a big second hand market on these bows here... so if this hobby turns out to be “not for me” , I’m stuck with it 😅 Thanks again for the great video 👍👍

  • @greenhoodedvigilante458
    @greenhoodedvigilante458 Před 3 lety +2

    For beginners with limited budget, junxing compound bows are good quality for the price is paid. But they are unbeatable for recurve bows. The price you pay and the quality you get in their recurve bows are just incredible. Mandarin duck phantom you bought is actually rebranded version of Junxing F179. The 'Black Hunter' which is also sold by mandarin duck and other archery shops are rebranded version of Junxing F171, which is far better in quality than Samick Sage. Junxing pharos which is an ILF hunting recurve, machined aluminum riser and fiberglass-bamboo laminated limbs, just 350 US dollar.
    Stephen Hains from Archery supplies has stocked many of Junxing bows.

( like Nates) you will perhaps spend a few dollars more, but you will go out with a well tuned bow in your hand, that fits you, and correctly spined arrows; it will make your life so much better....

    I can't tell you how many young kiddos with parents who want their child to "try out the sport" but get a cheap fiberglass recurve toy and think the child is going to enjoy the sport, eventually they are going to get bored. I get that these types of parents don't want to spend money, but getting a lesson at a shop or an archery club that supplies equipment and teaches the child for 20,30 bucks a lesson is going to give the child and parent much more information of whether they should spend money on say, a wooden recurve or a cheap compound. Yes, I'm blessed with a parent who makes decent income in order to get me a decent coach and get equipment when needed, but 20 dollars for 1 lesson is going to give more insight than getting several fiberglass bows, that when added up, could get a cheap recurve kit to get started with archery. I mean, these kids are 7 years old at least, they're going to get bored if they use things made as toys rather than "real" archery equipment.

    My .02- I hate the “starter” or “beginner” mentality. I don’t have ton of experience with bows, but I have decades of experience bass fishing, and I always tell people new to the sport to get the highest quality they can possibly afford. Reason being is a higher dollar rod and reel is actually EASIER for a new angler to use. Someone like me can take a $40 bait caster, where the slightest turn of the cast control knob is either the spool doesn’t hardly move, or it’s spinning an hour (back lash city), and make it work because I know how to thumb. I can feel fish on a cheaper rod, because of that same experience. Why would a beginner NOT WANT a super adjustable and smooth reel, or a rod that the slightest fish tick feels like a lightning bolt? It’s the same thing with anything else I’ve done with my life. A real set of golf clubs made a night and day difference (thank God I gave that up, though). Or like billiards- I’ve been playing for decades, and I now have a McDermott with a CueTech carbon shaft……if someone were getting into it more than just shooting for fun, I’d immediately tell them to buy that, despite the cost. You really do get what you pay for in life.

    Go to a reputable dealer. The overwhelming majority of big box stores employ people that are uh...unfamiliar if I'm being charitable about it, with archery gear (and fly fishing equipment while I'm ranting!) In addition to not having access to many of the bows from the top manufacturers. Nothing "wrong" with buying your Diamond Edge or whatever at all, but your doing yourself a serious disservice by not having a wide range of bows from multiple manufacturers available to try out, I ended up about $1000-$1200 in for my first bow (included release, stabilizer, sight, rest, sling, half dozen arrows and a target) but the shop I went to had options available from about half of that to about double that price, and the PSE I ended up with felt the best, fit the best, and I shot it the best. If you pick up your inexpensive bow and it fits like a glove, great, but if you buy one and want to upgrade later, you'll spend a lot more money in the end after taking your bath on the trade in, take your time with it and get it right the first time, it'll make the entire experience better and you will be more likely to stick with the hobby.

    Chinese bow manufacturers arent necessarily bad just because theyre from china, just keep that in mind lol. Almost all countries in asia have a deeeep history with archery, and generally, if the company makes bows and hunting equipment only, the bow is more than likely gonna be pretty good. If that company is also making safety goggles, kitchen knives, etc. I'd skip it. Take sanlida for example, chinese company, but theyre pretty well established, and their limbs are made in america as are some of the other components, and you end up with a good quality bow, especially for the price point. Just something to consider, even if you disagree. Thats all the point of this was, its just to give you something to think about.

    I just subbed! Great content all around. I'm looking to get my first compound bow. What do you think of the Hoyt Torrex? I went to test it, it was a little hard on the draw but I think I may have to lower the poundage. Is it a solid bow for beginners? Can I grow with it? Thanks

    • @averagejackarchery
      @averagejackarchery  Před 3 lety

      Yup! Torrex is a great option for those that want something that's still higher-spec but also can "grow as you go" through the sport.

    Is there a difference between bows in how well they holds a tuning? Do some bows need to be tuned more often than others?

    • @averagejackarchery
      @averagejackarchery  Před 3 lety +1

      In my experience, the bows that hold their tune the best have the fewest and shortest strings. So my order would be: 3 string binaries, single cams, hybrid cams with one yoke, multiple yoke binaries, and then dual cams with 2 yokes. But of course, quality of string build in the first place can move any of these up or down the list.

      Really digging what Bear is doing with their interme bows. Very solid offering for the price point. No one else in the industry is touching them pretty much.

    Nate. The bows like Elites list a max draw weight. What is the spread on this number Say I buy a 65 lb. Max and I need to lower speed what's the lowest without changing something?

    • @averagejackarchery
      @averagejackarchery  Před 3 lety

      Unless otherwise stated, you can assumer 10# of range. So a 60# bow can lower to #50.

  • @judgementxx
    @judgementxx Před 2 lety

    I’m thinking about testing bows out at a shop to get a feel for what I like and what would be good, but I’m wondering if I should go do that without necessarily being able to buy it on the spot. I know they’ll have to adjust the length and weight for me, and take some time to have me try different options and help with some basic form stuff, so it feels like they’d be annoyed if I had them do that stuff and had to say “I’ll come back in like a week or two because I can’t actually afford one at this moment”

      @@Mrtaco-bs1lg I tested a couple bows and really liked the Diamond Infinite 305 for the price and feel/package deal. I was also very pleasantly surprise at how well I could shoot a bow, given I’d only watched a bunch of tutorials and had basically no actual experience doing it. Guy said it seemed like I knew what I was doing and what I wanted already, made me feel good lol. I forget the specifics of it since it’s been a while now and I’ve yet to actually purchase it due to finances, but I do remember falling in love with it while testing

      Start small and work your way up, finding the pieces you want to upgrade. Usually that goes in order of rest, release, arrows, and stabilizer.

    Personally want the pse supra focus for my later target bow, got nice looking navy/sky blue color and the new rotating module is easy and is what I am used to. Just need to get to 50 pounds on my current bow and be able to handle that weight because target bows have 50 lb minimums. I don't know if that is the max it can go to or the minimum ( help please?) it can be but I don't want to find out considering new limb bolts don't seem cheap. I don't like the TRX 36 as much as I used to even though it fit my case. A new case an inch longer isn't going to cost 600 dollars, and also, it would cost 60 dollars in order to get another draw length module, being 13 and not having a job, I am technically not paying for my archery equipment, my mother is....
