Archery question?
asked:
I am a COMPLETE *NEWBIE* in the sport of Archery. I have a 30-some year old hunting style bow and I have purchased my first set of arrows today.
Someone, please direct me to a website that shows and explains how to begin archery. - I need to find how to hold the bow, how to pull the string and how to position the arrow so it will fly straight.
I already have a release mechanism that pulls the string back and I have already hit the broad side of the barn in my back yard (so no "quips" are needed.)
Thanks.

I would take your set-up to a good archery shop. First of all, let them check out your bow and make sure it is safe to use and in the proper condition. Nothing wrong with a 30 year old bow, mine is 25, but they often need a tweak here and there.
They will also be able to advise you on your arrow choice. When I first started I was using arrows that had the wrong spine for my set up and they flew very erratically. Using the appropriate arrow made an enormous difference.
I think you will also find that most folks who work in these places are nice friendly people that love introducing new people to the sport. They will be more than happy to give you plenty of free advice on stance, grip, release – everything you need to know to get started. And don’t worry, they won’t pressure you to buy a bunch of crap you don’t need.
Good luck!
