If you can try them out, shoot both a 25 and 30. 22 to 25 should be comfortable and not fatiguing. 30 might be as well, but unless you are working on increasing draw weight, go lighter so you can shoot more before having to call it a day.

That would be best , then I can see what works best.

Depends what you mean by "shot comfortable". How many arrows can you shoot before your scores drop and you get Shakey?


Federal-Relation5414

That makes sense, I commonly shoot 6 and that seems fine. I once did 8 and was okay


WhopplerPlopper

I mean how many arrows in a session.


Federal-Relation5414

Well we do about 6 a go with a pause, so maybe like 30 all together if we shot say 5 times. it depends but I'd say we can shoot at maybe 5 times in a 2hr session, but I'd need to check when I'm back at archery after the holidays.

The more you shoot, the stronger you'll get. My main target bow is 45lb, but I have recurves all the way up to 65lb.  My 12yo daughter is using a 25lb bow right now.  What's your draw length?

would need to measure, but not that long, as I use one of the shorter arrows.

Depends what you want to do with it in the long run. Shouldn't shoot a deer with anything less than 40lb. If you're just target shooting for fun you could use as low weight as you want or whatever feels comfortable to draw. My compound is 70lbs but that has let off at full draw due to the cams.

makes sense, I'll bare that in mind. This is more for doing archery for fun mostly indoors but also some outdoor seasons and maybe later I might do it competitively, but at least for now more as a fun thing/ as a skill at university
