I started on and still shoot a Bowtech Equalizer. It is my love and I find it very difficult to shoot anything else. I never have problems with it and it is smooth and as quiet as can be. I realize a woman's opinion ofa bow will differ from a man's, but alot of the guys I shoot with at the bow shop love the Equalizer. I think it is definitely worth checking out.

I wish I knew this a couple of days ago, I sold a PSE fire flite express, with new sights, martin quiver, four carbon arrow and a release for $100 it was ready to shoot.

Find out what drawlength you need, and what may fit you okay. Get an idea of what draw-weight you are comfortable with, and start looking here: http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=100 The ArcheryTalk Classifieds are probably the best on the net for bows. There are many excellent deals to be found there.

Default RE: compound bow for beginner?

but the main question is for a beginner is it better with a compound or a recurve , i went to the store jus tnow. the shop owner just simply told me get a recurve as it is just more fun than a compound bow. is it true? cause he said compound bow need to have some technique to shoot it etc compared to a re-curve? can a recurve bow be fitted with those gadget sights that is used on a compound bow?

p/: why is there so many long sticks on those used in championship?

thanks a lot
