THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Looking at either a recurve or a longbow. I'd like something quality but not for more than around $400 if I can help it. What brands and other features should I be looking for. I do have a local archery store that I may stop by after work one day to peruse their selection.

Thanks for your help.

I would suggest you take a look at your local store first. Once you see a few things there, you will start to get a feel for your budget.

Then, you can decide to support your local store or hit the Internet.
I tend to say you should seriously weigh the local store since you will need some help from time to time and unless there is a club nearby you will be getting your help from them.

See if there are any other stores within range too. If they seem helpful to beginners and are not over-priced, you are in luck.

I know of some quality gently used bows that might suit, for instance, my brother is selling his Jim Reynolds Thunderstick magnum for $250.

It's a 58" or 60" (I'll have check) hybrid longbow, 52#@28"

PM me and I can point you to a few others that are owned by friends, I know these bows have all been well taken care of.

The Samick Sage recurve is getting some good reviews, and is very economically priced.
