Last year at this time I was rigt where you are, And I'll say some thing. Arthur is right on the money. Also I would tell you to just get on www.recurves.com and get a falcon and shoot they are only 225 and if you dont like it or want to move to a fancy bow your not out much. Thats what I did but I love the bow to much to sell it and get a fancy Blacktail or widow. and I have shot those fancy bows and to tell you the truth I think the falcon shoots just as good for a lot less money. This is just what I did and I was happy I did. I went from a 70 lb compound to a 60# recurve. Glad I dropped the weight. It was tuff at first but I can shoot all day now.

Arrows, This have been a hard one for me. Most shop,s don't help you on this because they sell to many compounds, I shoot aluminums but I want something different . Just can't figur if I want carbon or wood but I am leaning to wood.
