Everyone's favorite problem
« on: December 18, 2008, 11:37:00 PM »
From some recent bow difficulties I am selling/trading my hornes brushbow  :rolleyes:  

Well, I was thinking about getting another bow... and with all the choices I am utterly lost. So since we can't all have every bow I want to give you my specs and see what we can come up with. Anyone who helps I promise to get pictures of the finished product and a chance to shoot if we should ever meet up.

It needs to be a 48-52#@28 recurve. With a good sized grip like my Ben Pearson deerslayer. Preferably less than 60".

Wood choices: I like darker woods and simple contrast. Something extremely dark with maybe zebra wood and a line of color somehow.

I want to spend less than $400, I know very limiting but thats what I have to work with. This can include used ones.

I came from nothing and I brought it with me.

Check out  www.recurves.com  I haven't visited in awhile, but I'm pretty sure you can get a custom Chek-mate for that price.  Check out the Falcon it is a nice bow, I had one (plain jane) shedua riser and red elm limbs.  Give Chad an email and tell him what you are looking for...Mike

Check out Raptor Archery's used bow section, Ted gets some good stuff and usually priced right.
