drawing the bow isn't a problem for me. i just noticed that cost is relevant to strength. and since i'm just starting i don't feel the need to break the bank.

i'm eyeballing a 150# Barnett Wildcat (recurve) on ebay for $75 seemed to be a decent value. It comes with the bow removal tool and 3 bolts. although i can't help niticing that recurves have significantly less energy..[&:]
