R/D Bow

[warder1268]

Hey all,

I haven't posted here for some time.  I have been busy with a large B.  I did finish a bamboo backed bamboo that I have been working on, and it going to my brother as a gift.  I will try and post pics soon.

I do have a question.  I have been building bows, mostly Hill style, and have enjoyed it.  I also want to buy a R/D style bow to try out.  I was leaning towards the Kaibab, and was about ready to place an order, when I heard they went out of business.  I have been looking here and a couple of other places for a used one, but no luck so far.  I looked at the Martin, Bear, Internature, etc. and liked the more extreme R/D.  I shot one of Toelke's bows and it is awesome, but I need to stay within budget. I also live in an area with no bow shops so can't shoot them.  This is not a what is the best bow for me thread, but more like, what experiences have you had with these bows?

Anyway, I want to stay under$300, which would leave me with enough funds to buy more bamboo.  I would like to have a bow around the 55-60# mark.  Any suggestions after shooting some bows?

I have and Pm'd someone with a Kaibab for sale, but no response.  I am just not sure what to look for, having not shot many different bows, other than mine.

There is a 21st Century in the classifieds in your price range. I don't know the person selling and am not familiar with the model. I do know of some shooters who swear by the Jim and Buddy made Edge model.I beleave all the Jim and Buddy bows were winners.
