How do you re-string a compound bow?

To re-string a compound bow, you must first get the bow limbs to bend. The easiest way (and the safest) is to place the bow, with the string above the bow (it will look like a smile) in what is called a "bow press". Once the bow is in the press, it is pushed down to bend the limbs ("compressed"), causing the string to go slack; the string is now removed from the cams and the new string is installed. De-compress the bow and remove it from the press.

The bow press can be somewhat expensive to purchase, so it may be best to take the bow to an archery shop and have the string replaced there. Due to the amount of pressure required to bend the bow's limbs, as well as the need to keep them bent while changing the string, attempting to restring a compound bow without the proper equipment is definitely not recommended.

What do beginning archers need to do before they begin to practice archery?

The first thing the beginning archer should do is find someone who will teach them proper archery safety, technique and practices. The best place to find that person is at a local archery club, such as those which are certified by the U.S. Olympic Archery Committee (USA Archery) in the U.S.A or the British Grand National Archery Society in Great Britain.

For those who are not interested in Olympic style archery, there are many other clubs, organizations and societies which concentrate on the other styles of archery, such as the English Field Archery Association (Great Britain) and the National Field Archery Association (U.S.A.), as well as the Society for Creative Anachronisms, Inc. (an International Society dedicated to Education, Research and Re-Creation of the Mediaeval Period of History).

Most organizations and societies do require payment of dues and/or fees, so be prepared.

How much are archery lessons?

It depends on where you get them from. Check with the place that you wish to enroll at.

I would like actual prices posted here so that I can get an idea as well. I'm going through a park district (as a non-resident -- so I pay a bit more) and it's $72 for four class ($18 per class). This seems a bit high to me. They supply the bows, arrows, and targets... so it may be fair. I'm going to try a month and see.

What are people paying for lessons? Please provide a per class cost if possible.

How do you make an archery arm guard?

In reality they are quite cheap to purchase, but you can have your own leather bracer made if you wish to.

A decent arm brace is about half the length to the full length of your forearm, and is a wide as two thirds of the circumference of your forearm (you don't need exact measurements).

Traditional archery bracers are nearly always made of tanned leather, and have some kind of elastic or non elastic attachment to your arm in the forms of leather string, shoelace, or other equivalent going through symmetrical holes in the bracer around your arm.

Remember that a bracer does not need to be of a very complex design, so long as it matcheds the features mentioned above. Many modern style bracers use plastic or thick material such as nylon instead of leather, but they have the same kind of effect at the cost of aesthetics (how good it looks).
