the bow doesn´t say any info, the seller could not tell me anything about it except it is righthand, I bought whisker biscuit, an optic sight and a peep sight....(thats the only target i´ve got an old matress they gave me jejeje)that was like 20m distance

I have no idear what type of bow that is. Just have someone who knows what they are doing to check it out to make sure its safe to shoot.

That target take broadheads too or just practice points?

Welcome to the sport of archery and this forum.

My company has a plant in Hermosillo that I visited last year in August, boy was it HOT!! Good Luck and keep asking questions you'll get the answers you seek.

Yes, you will need a new bow and a release. Glad to see a newcomer to the sport.

Hi Slippy.
What a strange signature you have here.
Some french words together but making no sense...
