Well just seen the price.............Nevermind.[:@]

Maybe this one: http://www.shopatron.com/product/part_number=X200/189.0.2466.0.0.0.0 $340

Martin has been making good recurves for a long time. You'd be well served with a Martin.

That site seems overpriced. Most of their trad bows I see on there are $50 or more than other places. Heck, their Hunter and X-200 are $80 more than everywhere else.

Thanks David, I will for sure shop around. I do believe my local archery shop carries Martin.
I am going over there friday and will keep you all posted.

They've got the X-200 for $297.95 at KustomKing.

Or you could go to recurves.com and order a basicChekMate Falcon or Kings Pawnfor $265. Don't know what the turnaround is right now, but I'm sure Chad could tell you. I've been shooting a Kings Pawn for several years now - I guess 5 years, come to think of it -and it's a darn good bow.

I also have a King's Pawn, fully loaded. I think I paid under $300 for it.

Actually like for everything else money talks. I would like to shoot something like that but I will go check out the martin just to figure out what weight I want to shoot then follow up below. Once again Thanks Art.

I hunted with a martin for years, until I ran over it two years ago. It was a very good shooting bow.

My advise is to see if you can try some bows out. Martin makes fine bows but you may not like the feel of it. I'd suggest getting a lower priced used bow and shooting a while to have something to compair to when you get a nicer one. Older Bear bows go for good prices. I have bought several for under or around 100 and they are good shooting bows. In fact my first recurve was a Bear Grizzly I paid $30 for at a salvation army store. Came with a quiver and arrows too. I still have it though I promissed it to a friend recently.
If you can shoot as many different bows as you can.

Just my thoughts.
