Well after two weeks of archery my samick red stag got a stress crack in it, had to return it, so now I'm "bowless". So now I can either wait for a couple month to get the same bow, or I can upgrade and pay the difference, now that I know I like it im willing to spend about 300dollars give or that, what's the best one piece recurve I can get in that price? I'd like it to be new, I have never shot a longbow but I am open to all suggestions. I like one pieces tho, not a takedown guy. Any help would be appreciated!
