Hey fella's, thank you for all of the replies. I went into a shop and got measured for arrows (29") bought six and a new stick on guide. It had a guide for a mechanical realease and the guys said it was "a loud monstrosity"
. They said I should learn using a finger tab release for now, but an old timer that was sitting in the shop said to use one that attached to the wrist and had a roach clip type thing on it (the name escapes me).
They set me up and let me shoot in the shop for about an hour and it was fun. I'll be taking the kids in this week to try it out, they'll have a blast I'm sure. I may spring for a private lesson for the family.
I am going to get some recurves for the kids for Christmas, nothing to spendy ($150 tops), any suggestions on what to get or brands to stay away from? I may have caught the bug after the short time there.
The old timer said that my string has a realase so you can change in the field and said that these plastic clips can explode, any dea what he meant?
