Start with checking the classifieds on trad web sites! Can sometimes find a deal. Otherwise, Martin, PSE among others make some darn fine Non custom bows!! Just dont buy one with too much poundage!! If youve never shot trad, look for something around 40 pounds!!

Samick Sage recurve. 3 Rivers sells a starter kit with this bow that comes with almost everything you need to get started, except arrows and a target. If you don't have a local archery shop 3 Rivers is one of the best online/mail order houses to deal with.
ASSuming you're an adult male in good health you should be OK with a 35# or 40# bow, but I would not get a bow with a heavier pull. Shooting a bow uses your upper back muscles in a way that you probably do not use already, so you need to work your way up to higher draw weights. The Samick Sage is a takedown and you get extra limbs, so if you decide down the road you want a stronger bow all you need to do is buy a set of heavier limbs. |
