Default RE: Bowtype for a starter?

You may want to look at getting a take down Bow and get something between 30 and 35 pounds draw weight.If go out and get a 50 pound draw weight you will find it very hard not to shake when the bow is fully drawn if you can draw it that is,and do not forget you will have to hold that 50 pounds for 10 seconds or longer.Also the reason why I say look into a take down bow is because once you have built your strenght up enough then purchase your 50 pound limbs.One other thing to remeber is that most people do not use the muscle's you use to draw a bow a friend of mine who is fairly strong had a bit of trouble trying to draw my 46 pound recurve.If you practice 3 or 4 times a week with a bow with a lighter draw weight you will be able to draw a bow with a higher draw weight in know time.Also do look at itlike it is a waste of moneyto buy a take down bow and a second set of limbs because I prefer a lighter draw weight when I just want to do some target practice and have somefun.
