RE: Bow Selection
Hunting Fever,
Now that you are buying a bow, it IS a good time to consider switching to traditional archery. The recommendation given above for the Chek-Mate Hunter II is an excellent one.
I wish I had started with traditional 18 years ago when I first started bowhunting. Instead, I waited until three years ago. When I started shooting my first recurve, I found the FUN in shooting a bow again.
I now shoot a longbow, but it would be advised to start with a recurve to make the transition from compound to traditional.
