Hello all. I am a newbie to traditional archery. I don't even own any traditional archery items at this time. I have however, read many of the posts on here. From eye dominance to which bow for a beginner to poundage. I will willing admit my ignorance to the traditional side of things. I will also admit that I am ready to move to the traditional side of things, recurves in particular. Yes, I am another one of those guys that shoot compounds, so thats where most of my knowledge lies.
A little about me. I shoot a 29" draw at aprox 67#. My wheelie offers 80% let off. So I am roughly holding 15# at full draw. I have come to realize that I should start with a 45#-50# recurve. I shoot RH, although my dominant eye is left. I am pretty sure I want to shoot recurves LH.
I have noticed alot of hype with the samick sage bow being reccomended to beginners, however, I have also noticed just about as much hype reguarding buying used from the classifieds. I have checked and haven't really noticed anything in the classifieds...have I just missed it?
I also agree with everyone who says start inexpensive because you'll buy another one. So yes I am looking for inexpensive now with the intent of later purchasing big/custom.
Can I get any advice from some of you veterans of the sport? Thanks
