Even though traditional shooting is growing by leaps and bounds, it's getting darn difficult to find a dealer that knows diddly poop about traditional bows, much less one that actually stocks any. You'd be well served if you can locate an all-traditional shoot in your neck of the woods and go have a look-see. That's a quick way to see a whole mess of different bows. There's always somebody got a bow or two for sale at a trad shoot.

You wouldn't believe the variety of different style bows out there; recurves, longbows, hybrids, one piece and takedown, in all kinds of lengths.... in all kinds of price ranges too. There is something for everyone.

I gotta throw in a ditto on recurves.com and Chek-Mate.
