For me it’s driving while under the influence. If you couldn’t tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I simply can’t fathom. I’ve only operated a vehicle once under the influence and it was just to move a U-Haul around the block to a different parking spot, which was such a scary experience while high that I refuse to even consider getting behind the wheel again while high.
It’s hard to say because they don’t specify what they’ll actually send you. Most of the accessories in that kit are like $10 each, so depending on the bow, it’s probably overpriced. I’d go with something like a Samick Sage Archery Takedown Recurve Bow, or a SAS Spirit 6. You want a takedown so that you can replace the limbs with something better if you love the sport and stick with it. Then if you really love it you can replace the riser later and you’ll already have the limbs. The finger tabs are like $6, the arm guard is like $8-10. You can get a good softshell case for $20, or a Pelican hardshell case for $35 (I just bought one yesterday). A decent SAS waist quiver is $12 and a good one $25. That just leaves the arrows. I’m using Victory V-force Sport .245 carbon arrows right now and they’re pretty good for the money. Only $50 on Amazon. You can get wooden arrows for like $2 each. Field tips are like $6-$10 per pack.
Put that all together and you’re still like $50-$100 less than that kit. That’ll leave you with some money to get a Yellow jacket or Black Hole backyard target (always shoot with a backstop as a newb). Yeah man, I’d do that. Oh, the bow may not come with a string, so check if it does when you buy it. $20 for a string of it doesn’t come with one, and spend $6-$10 on wax within a few weeks of getting the bow. Wax your string every 3-4 shooting sessions. Just make sure you get the right length arrows.
Do it! Welcome to archery! Watch some videos on form so you don’t hurt yourself while you build your muscles up, and always quit before you’re fatigued. You’re going to love this hobby! Once you get everything it’s basically free! That is of course if you can stop yourself from upgrading to the next swoopy tier of gear, which admittedly, I’m not very good at. :)
I hear the bolt on limb attachments aren’t as good as ILF since ILF has more options available, should I spend more to get a bow that uses ILF instead?
ILF will have better options, but those better options also cost a lot more money. If you can afford it, and you think you’ll stick with it, then yes, go with an ILF system. There are some good bows with the bolt on takedown limbs though. My first adult recurve bow is a bolt on system. I used it for years without issue, achieving very tight groups. Now my son uses it. I ended up moving to compound bows, but my original bolt on recurve still sees several uses per season, and is probably 20 years old now.
