bluesea112 asked:

I have a PSE X Force compound bow, and I want to install a peep sight on the string. I have two questions: 1. Can I install the peep without a bow press? 2. If yes, how do I know the right spot to put it? I can’t imagine the peep being an easy item to move up and down the string, so I want to get it right the first time.

I am interested in learning archery, not so much for hunting as for sharp shooting. Seeing as I am completely new to this field, I have no idea what reputable brands are, whether I should pick a recurve or a compound bow, and once I’ve decided that, how to pick the right model for me (height, pounds). Any advice?

I’m planning on buying my own bow soon. But I was having trouble deciding between a recurve bow or compound bow. For the Compound Bow, is it possible to shoot an arrow without using a arrow release? (can I shoot a arrow with a compound bow just like how I shoot an arrow with a recurve?)
