The links on this page are to websites with informative articles on equipment and technique. Where possible the link is to the actual page.

A note to beginners: Some of these sites give advice over which equipment to buy. I'd advise that you do a beginner's course first and talk to your coach before buying equipment.
 
This site has a very nice downloadable .pdf with loads of recurve tuning information.

Loads of stuff about gear and tuning. Should be especially interesting for somebody just starting out in archery. Some stuff on the website (like the rounds) are specific to Australia though.
