Default RE: Thinking of Getting into Traditional Bows Please help

I just bought an X-200 and I am very pleased with it, it is very smooth, no handshock...a great bow for the money, a great bow flat out.

I would go with a 50 or 55 pound bow. With sharp broadheads and good shot placement, you could cleanly harvest all but the largest animals in North America.

The Martin recurves are set at a 28 inch draw so at 29 inches you would be pulling two or three pounds more than the listed draw weight.

Your aluminium arrows will shoot fine, provided the are the correct spine.
(Note- Make sure you shoot feathers instead of vanes if you shoot off the shelf)

Good luck! Keep us posted
