Question: Cheap/Budget longbow for practice in AZ?
« on: May 09, 2010, 12:06:00 PM »
I have a very nice custom made 55 # longbow that I use on the east coast. It, however, is a problem to ship it as I travel to Arizona and Montana alot in the summer and was thinking of picking up a cheap bow just to practice with during the summer and stay in good shooting shape.

I found  http://www.woodbows.com/amerhunt.html  this bow as one of the cheapest and most decent sounding bows I could buy. But I wanted to know if anyone else had any advice for getting a cheap longbow online or in Arizona. Just looking for something to play around with when I am home.

I'd take a look at one of Mikes, Maddog Archery "Mutts"
in the Sponsor section.
I haven't shot one but reviews have been very good.
I'm considering ordering one in the next few weeks.
