Hi, to all my new "tradgang" friends. Although, I've been lurking for quite awhile, this is my first post....be gentle(LOL).
About me: I'm 59 and decided to try Trad archery again after a 25-30 yr. hiatus and before my shoulder completely goes. Right now, I'm shooting a Samick Sage @35 lbs. which seems to be working pretty well now with my torn rotater cuff(left).
Thats OK since I'm really only planning to shoot target, 3D, etc. not hunting. I'm not anti-hunting at all, I just probably don't have the patience. If I wanted to "upgrade", what would y'all suggest. $300-500 range. Should I think about a strictly "target bow"?Yuck! I've been reading about the "ILF" systems..makes sense. I could easily go with a longer bow, 62"-66". I'm not ready to buy now so I have plenty of time. Just trying to examine all sides of the issue.

Hi Bob, probably would do better with this posted on PowWow. I'm sure you'll get plenty of ideas and suggestions over there. Happy Holidays.

Bob, STRONGLY suggest going to ETAR Eastern Trad. Archery Rendevous in July in PA. You can shoot hundreds of bows... you can try every type of bow and REALLY know what is best for you. Just a great time. Google it for details.
