there's a Hummingbird thats going to be a SWEET bow -


3 more options for you.

picking a recurve/longbow isn't like compounds - IMO. You can buy a bow thats 63# @ 29" and it will "fit" your 27" draw and be about 58-59#'s in weight. you'll not know how "shootable" a bow is or can be until you well, shoot it ! I've bought/sold/traded probably 150 bows or more. Why ? because I wanted to know what "fit" me and truth is I can shoot about any bow out there. the ones I like however are the hybrid longbows and recurve. The traditional D style longbows I don't like. I don't like one piece bows for the most part = just a prefernce of mine.

Starting out, I would suggest buying a nice bow, like one of the aboves, carbons, a nice glove, and go shoot. Yep, its that easy. sign up to www.tradgang.com and ask questions there too, search their archives - or here, or the leatherwall ...... a lot of good sources out there.

its easy to do, but very difficult to master
