New to traditional shooting need answers please.
I really want to get into traditional shooting and hunting but dont know were to start.
First, I would like to get a recurve for under 200$ if possible any suggetions would be nice on what to get.
Second, I would like to know what my draw weight is. I know its different than a compound and I pull 55-60# with my compund. What would my draw weight be with a recurve?
Third, should i use wood, aluminum or carbon arrows?
Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Dont match your compounds weight, go light and learn, then get a hunting bow. Id suggest get a 35lb to 45lbbow and learn, then get a heavier one to hunt with. dont worry about waisting money, you can always use the lighter bow for fishing or small game. They are also a little cheaper. If you go heavy right off, you will develope some bad habits. Got to remember, you will have to draw, and hold that weight the whole time you shoot. Not a good situation to learn under.
Arrows are all personal pref. All of the above will work. Just make sure they are tuned to the bow you shoot them with.

Buy 40#, legal in most states, will kill any deer if distances are kept reasonable. Try to stay at at least 58" (Ishoot a 52", and not very forgiving) I'm getting ready to buy a 60" Quinn Stallion,, they are just over $200 and dollar for dollar the best value there is. Ya gotta like a metal riser though, but as you get stronger you can purchase larger limbs and you can purchae real lightif you want to compete.
