Morning folks,
I'm about to take my last session of my beginners class tonight (a mock tournament to teach us about scoring I believe) and have already signed up to join the club as soon as it finishes (going on Wednesday night to do the paperwork, get keys for the range etc etc). I've purchased a lot of my own gear already, pretty much everything baring Limbs, Arrows and a string. All of which I'm loaning from the club for a 3 month period.
Now I'm well aware that I need to start with lower poundage limbs (I'm expecting to be given 26lb ish as a start) and I'm also not too worried about getting to a certain poundage (it's just a number, who cares right?). But in 3 months time I will be expected to go out and buy my own limbs and arrows, I guess my question is how long are those limbs I get in 3 months going to take me to grow out of? The plan is to shoot 3 times a week for 3 hours ish a time, indoor at first but as soon as the light and weather improves I'd like to start looking at moving outside. Am I going to be buying 28 - 30lb limbs in 3 months and then outgrowing them in 3 months? 6 months? a year? I don't mind buying limbs really, the cheaper ones are cheap enough to replace but replacing fulls sets of arrows at the same time might get pricey (I may have been eyeing up ACCs for when I move outside) if I have to do it too often.
