I've searched the internet for a few months now, checking bow reviews, pricing, arrows, targets, and have decided on a recurve bow. I went to a pro shop and shot a few recurves, and had a few conversations with the shop owners, as well. There was something to be said about talking to them, and I feel like I could use another, less biased opinion.
I like that some recurve bows have the ability to be taken apart, or adjusted by interchanging the arms with other more/less flexible arms. It would be nice to take the bow with me in a little travel bag, and I would like not having to clean it or buy more bullets for it, like I have to do with my Spike's Tactical LE-15 mid-length gas system. My family even owns a stretch of land that is absolutely overrun with hogs, and after plenty of practice, I might want to do some hunting with it.
With that said, I plan to buy a right handed Samick Sage recurve, with 45# @ 28". My draw length is 27" which means I would only be pulling ~42#; I get tired after a few shots with a 50# recurves @ 28". Before I pull the trigger on one, is there anything I should know? Maybe a better bow at the same price or lower price? Arrow recommendations? Anything not covered in the archery sticky would be helpful. The pro shop suggested I run carbon arrows with feather fletching. Is it worth it to buy the materials, or tools and make my own when I know little about the sport?
Thanks in advance
