As an alternative, you may want to attend a traditional shot or visit an archery shop which has traditional equipment. I'd suggest talking with some experienced traditional sales people to get you set up.

There are a great many satisfied customers on the traditional forums that can vouch for the integrity of ChekMate and the quality of their products, and I am one of them. If your parents are simply worried about ordering over the internet, you can print off the order form and mail it in. It'd just take a few days longer to get there.

There are very few archery shops that carry traditional bows. If you're not lucky enough to have a traditional store or can't find an all-traditional shoot in your neck of the woods then, if you're wanting a recurve or longbow, I'm afraid mail order is about your only hope.

There is also the option of going primitive and making your own selfbows and arrows. It's 'best' to make bows from staves, but I've made many a bow from red oak boards. A new bow is no further away than the nearest Lowes or Home Depot. Here are a couple of websites that tell you everything you need to know about making bows from boards, and a great many other things besides.

yeah they just dont like the idea of the get the money first and there are two people who live 15 miles away one does custom bows the lowest sells for 600 and the other one is in the same town and he has one that is 350 a little out of my price range and i thought it was a little odd that viper deluxe was like 179 a month ago now it is like 200 at FS oh well just my luck i guess

That's why I suggested learining how to make your own bow out of a board. $10 and a little elbow grease vs spending $200 and up... Honestly, my best board bow only shoots about 10 fps slower than my best store bought bow, using the same arrow at the same draw weight.

[MattL]

I have tried to make many bows the only success was only about 10lbs and my parents dont want me throwing away money on a board just so i can break it and i dont have any trees around my farm that will work come to think of it i have already been to both those sites many times the ferret does some amazing things with wood

Sounds like you have some tough parents.[:@]

[Arthur P]

Ask 'em if they'd rather you spend money on bows and stuff or go spend it on tatoos and nose rings. [8D]

Wow, I wish that would work for me.

Maybe if I threaten with booze and women it'd work on my wife. [8D]
