RE: Want to start traditional hunting
You allready took the first step by deciding you want to do it. The recurve versus longbow thing is mostly personal preference. Both can be accurate fast and forgiving or both can be slow unforgiving dogs LOL. If you can find a traditional shoot in your area ( not always easy ) the best thing would be to go and check out as many bows as you can. To start off the worst thing you can do is by a bow that is to heavy for you. If you shoot a compound try a trad bow that is around 10 pounds lighter. It takes ALOT of practice to shoot traditional consistently. Check out as many as you can and buy the one that feels best. Start off with a lower poundage to get the basics down. Alot of good bows can be had at reasonable prices once you figure out what you like on the trading sites or even ebay. Just keep it fun! Wow I never write that much to say so little. sorry about that[8D]
