Self bows
« on: September 18, 2012, 03:54:00 PM »
Hello all, I've never shot a self bow, but found a couple great deals on one that would be great for my kids.  I've never shot a self bow so don't know much about them.  Are they any more difficult than shooting a bow with a shelf? Would I need to buy the kids a special glove for their bow hand where the arrow rests on their hand?  Any thing else I should know about self bows?  I'm looking at a 25#, 60" self bow for my kids.  Would it be alright for them to use my old 400 gr carbons with that bow? I'd refletch them with feathers, they have vanes from my compound on them now. I've been told shooting heavy arrows won't hurt the bow, just too light will hurt it.  Thanks!
