Default Buddy needs some help.

So i've been tryin to get my brother inlaw into bow hunting. so at christmas he tells me he needs me to help him get started. Ok I say. then he says he wants to shoot trad. Oh crap.
I dont shoot trad yet. well maybe we could learn it together.

So what would be a good jumping off point for him.
type, point tips etc.
any and all advice is more than welcome.

Default RE: Buddy needs some help.

For a newbie to trad I would suggest no more than 40-45lb draw weight at their draw lenght, stay away from short bows (no shorter than 64" for a long bow 60" for a recurve), long bow or recurve is a personal choice.

Get form down first before worrying about anything else.

Check out Ebay, tradgang classifieds for good used bows.
