Compound Archery Bow
I would like to take up traditional archery(the kind w/ out a Compound Bow) any tips?
In terms of Equipment, how to choose it, form, where to practice, any laws, etc.
So you want to take up Traditional Archery.... Well, "traditional" means many things in the world of Archery. Let's just go with the basics....
First, you need to decide whether you want to use a recurved bow or a longbow; recurved bows are the ones with the limb tips which are curved away from you as you use the bow. Since "traditional" bows do not have "let-off", you will be holding all of the draw weight at full draw; if the bow is "40 lbs", you will have to be able to hold the string back with 40 lbs of force (there are a few exceptions to this, but those bows are generally considered "exotic").
Then you need to decide what kind of arrows you want to use; the choices are wood, aluminum, and carbon-fiber (as long as the bow is "traditional", you can use any kind of arrow you want). There is also a choice of fletching for the arrows, but "traditional" normally means feather fletching. Of utmost importance, though, is that your arrows must be made specifically for your bow and yourself: they have to be strong (and flexible) enough for the bow's draw weight at your draw length AND be long enough for your draw length AND be heavy enough to efficiently use the bow's energy without being too heavy for practical use.
"Traditional" most often means using a glove or tab, as well. The glove normally covers only the tips of the first three fingers of the "string hand" (the one used to pull the string back); the tab is normally a piece of leather which acts as a pad between the string and fingers, and is "split" so the arrow nock can be placed between the first and second fingers. As with choosing a bow and type of arrows, choosing whether to use a glove or a tab is up to you.
"Form" is easy enough to learn, if you are patient enough to not constantly change the way you do things. The good part is that you have some lee-way in how you actually do those things -- as long as you are consistent in doing them. If you feel that one thing you are doing is not working out, change it a little...but give it a couple of weeks to settle in before deciding that it still doesn't work.
Practice can be done in a basement or garage, if there is room for it. I happen to have a small outdoor range just off my driveway. Look in your local phone book for archery stores; many of them have indoor ranges.
Laws happen to change, sometimes frequently, and they are not always the same from one area to another, so you need to check with your local law enforcement and/or government agencies; what is legal in one town may not be in another town -- even though they are in the same county.
I hope this helps. If you have questions that need answers, I will do what I can to give you the answers you need.
