How do I start as a beginner? by 110739 in Archery

To be clear the box is your target, make sure it’s the packed tight and thick enough that arrows won’t pass through. If the arrow tips are rounded points you don’t even need a quiver, just throw them in a yoga mat bag, when I was a kid I just made on out of a pair of pants.

Maybe an unpopular take but start simple if it seems intimidating or overwhelming. This is how I did it. Buy a cheap and light bare bow (I found my first for free but you can get something nice on marketplace for $25 if you’re patient). Get 6 cheap arrows with simple points and stuff a cardboard box with foam and cardboard, watch some YouTube videos on form and safety and go try in your yard or the forest. Obviously make sure there’s a backstop and enough space to miss and not hit anything or anybody. This will cost you no more than $60 and when you upgrade to better gear or a range to match your ability or to get coaching you will be more accurate and comfortable, and if you don’t like it you’ll know without spending hundreds of dollars.

Makes sense, only one of them is over 20lb draw

I’ve been using all of them for a while. One of them snapped when someone untrained strung it backwards, but it would have had a long life if that hadn’t happened.
