What type of Bow?
 

New to traditional bow hunting... been addicted to bow hunting for yeas now.I was wondering whats a good brand of longbow for under $300 and how should i go about getting one?

try and fine a shop/store, Archery club where you might fine some one/place that has some long bows and try then out if you can. Also look for some events going on. A good used bow for a first time shoot can be cheaper and you could get luck in fining a bow for you. Start off shooting a bow 45# to 50# at first and going even lighter is also good too. Work on your form after that is done hitting bullseyes will soon follow. It is to your best behalf to find a good traditional bow shop close to you.

To start with try these I own several they shoot excellent and will cost you half of what you say you would spend.

Hi Ed, welcome!

I'd talk with Chad (alias LBR). For that much money, you could have a custom Check-Mate built for yourself. Others on the board can vouge for quality. Try the link:

Like I tell everyone, see Rick Welch Volume II. That tape cut my groups in half.

As far as bows, you can get a great bow for $300. If LBR can't help you, check Tradgang classifieds, women-outdoors.com classifieds, etc.
