I picked up archery last summer shooting compound bow - I shoot a Diamond XT, a $400ish beginners bow with a 3-pin sight and a huge range of draw weight, 20lbs to 70. It's been a blast and I've worked my way up to 60lbs, hitting decently accurately at 50 yards. feelsgoodman

I've only got another few weeks here before it gets too cold for me to comfortably shoot outside anymore. There are two indoor ranges near me in the city, but they both only have 20 yard ranges. The idea of shooting my compound bow at that short a length doesn't excite me, but I don't want to just not shoot a bow all winter long. If I were to take the plunge and become a guy who owns two bows, I'm not sure what I'd want to shoot. Probably easiest and smartest to buy a good starter recurve, right? Shooting bare bow sounds like a lot of fun, but it would be smarter to learn how to shoot the bow with a stabilizer plunger first. Then I can take off the gadgets and use my baseline skill to more easily learn to shoot it bare. Alternatively, I'm a tall guy: I would look good with a longbow. What do you recommend I learn to shoot this winter?

ALSO: Anyone else dislike crossbow-guys at the range? They take forever to do anything, you can never tell if they're about to shoot or if we're clear to go downrange. Had a guy shooting his crossbow with a lit cigarette in his mouth, he took the shot sitting on a small three legged wooden stool, and without standing up, handed the crossbow to his friend who passed him back his beer.
