      Absolutely and can confirm, shooting a bow left handed is very easy to learn as a right-handed person. Much easier IMO than learning to shoot a rifle left handed.

      Absolutely you can. An upgraded sight and stabilizer will make a huge difference. If you are looking to upgrade a sight, look for one that has micro adjustments. It'll be easier to sight in and save you time in the long run. Good luck! 👍

    When you say "big box stores" I'm assuming you mean Cabela's and Bass Pro? Trying to buy my first compound bow and they have great sales right now at Cabela's but I've heard this comment numerous times and everyone leans towards an archery shop. I understand why, just wondering if i can purchase a bow from a big box store, then take it to an archery shop if i feel i need to get it fine tuned? Cabela's has a lot of Bear RTH products on a great price right now, just don't want to shoot myself in the foot with my first compound purchase

      @@cariboumediaoutdoors Understandable - i guess my assumption would be that a "RTH" is ready to hunt... so obviously nothing is "as advertised" and im going to need to fine tune some things, but for a bow that has RTH package from the factory, does it need the touch of an archery shop.

    • @cariboumediaoutdoors
      @cariboumediaoutdoors  10 дней назад

      @DimagoDiesel you'll just need to get it set yo your draw length and draw weight, make sure the peep sight is level with your eye. Get you set up with arrows, paper tune the bow to make sure your arrow is coming off the bow perfectly straight. Things like that.

    I’m wondering why measuring the arms span when you can easily divide your height with 2,5 and your done.
    Arm’s span almost always equals height, try it out…get to a wall and touch floor with fingers of one hand then expand your other hand along the wall straight up as high possible while still touching the floor with the other hand, maybe someone can watch your shoulders to be in line with your arms, mark your upper fingers and stand up to the mark, you’ll se that you’ll fit right in.

      @nebulaM16 Год назад +1

      I figured out why this doesn’t apply for USA.
      It’s because of the metrics system.
      Your reading for heights is expressed in feet’s and inches due to imperial measurements system.
      Now I’m from Slovenia Europe and we use only centimeters for the height measuring.
      You have to convert your height into inches only then divide by 2,5.
