The best practice is just a few arrows ever 2 or 3 days. Most start out and practice too much, once you start shaking you’ve went too far. I usually shoot no more than three arrows then lay the bow down and go to the target just taking my time. I’ve seen too many that want to shoot every arrow they have and by the fourth or fifth shot they’re string them all over the place. Start at about 10 yards and slowly work back. With my recurves and longbows I’m good to about 25 yards and group nicely at 40 with my compounds. Started shooting a bow when I was 7 I’ll be 63 this November and have yet to miss a season. While I really enjoy the speed and accuracy of my compounds the simplicity of the stick and string are hard to beat. Tell him to start light and slow and it won’t take long for that shoulder to get back in shape. I will give you one word of caution traditional archery is quite addicting. Good luck to you both.
What do you think of the takedown bows verses the regular bow?
Is there any danger of the takedown coming apart while you’re trying to use it?
