29" draw I'm 19, 6'2" not of the marathon build. My compound is at #60 and if it went higher I would go higher (of course we know that this probably means its right were it should be...stupid 19 year old egos geez!!!)
I wanna start in trad because I honestly get more enjoyment out of shooting my bow than I do bowhunting. The challenge is gone. No, I can't hit an apple at 100yards. And I would be dishonest if I didn't admit to thinking there's just something dang cool about watching all those mideviel war movies.
So here's my question: Differences/Advantages to the types of bow (long, Reflex-Deflex, recurve) What length? Too short and you get finger pinch...too long makes for a "mild" bow??? #45 too much weight? I'd rather start just a hair too heavy, as I'm young/athletic enough my strength will build rapidly. Should I start out with #50 and just pay my dues of having to start with short sessions of shooting? I'm left handed also.
When I do bowhunt, deer will be the largest animal. Likely I'll try turkey, small game, and bowfishing first....would a lighter bow be better suited for these?
So...be my tailors and fit me to a bow
