Anyone into Archery?

How did you learn?

I purchased my Takedown bow, bought some aluminum arrows, watched youtube videos on operating the Takedown bow, Went out and learned through trial and error.
Eventually figured it out, got good, upgraded to Carbon fiber arrows, then started making my own Takedown CF arrows, then learned how to fletch arrows in the field and make arrowheads from rock and old metal cans.
Still practicing once a week to maintain my current level of accuracy and also extend my accuracy range to 33 yards. I can accurately nail targets up to 20 yards from a standing or kneeling position behind my ruck.

It's been 3 years since I started.

don't use bows for self defense

they're fun and a great workout - but don't let these movies fool you. it doesn't go down like that
