HELLO!! Everyone
« on: December 07, 2007, 01:16:00 PM »
Hi guys! Ive been lurking around this site the last few days and decided to join.  Decided its time to lose the training wheels and start hunting!  Im looking for a recurve bow and dont know where to start.  Hardly anyone around here stocks any other than Cabelas and BP.  Ive looked and shot a few and they felt a little cheap.  I want to stay around 300-500. If I go much more I might as well get a BW.  I shot one a few years ago and loved it.  Dont really have a G to put down on one right now.  I have a 26" draw and Im going to shoot instinctivly.  Would like to pull around 46-48 lbs.  Gonna hunt whitetails, maybe elk and moose in the future since I have a friend that is ate up w/ the bigger critters right now. Thought I might get a takedown so I could move up in limb power later.  Any suggestions would be great!  I shoot split fingers. I had a longbow long enough to shoot a squirrel w/ it.  I like the recurves better.  Thanks guys!!

There are plenty of great bows on this site's classifieds.  Every bow feels a little different and without the chance to shoot them first it may be a trial and error basis.  Thus, used is the way to go because you can usually re-sell them for pretty much what you paid for them if you take care of it.  Good luck.
