Bows and arrows are the greatest weapons out there fuck

They are good for sport hunting
but in a battle it seems obsolete

Do not underestimate old weaponry.

Bich is Latin for generosity

I keep one for small game because I don't want a .22, but you'd have to be a bong to think a bow is an adequate self defense weapon.

How much should I expect to spend on a decent beginners bow? Want to get one.

The bow itself? ~100 to 150 USD. BUt of course you'll have to buy arrows, a quiver, shooting tab/glove, armguard etc. It really depends on where you're buying. Go to your local archery store and ask around. Both the bow and arrows has to be tailored to its owner. If that's not possible, then check out some Youtubers like NuSensei, and read and ask around on various archery forums.

It's a really fun hobby, but you might need some guidance or at least be willing to learn a lot on your own.

http://www.3riversarchery.com is recommended by many. But, as I said, your local one, if physically near you, is the best. But avoid general sporting and hunting stores at all cost.
