Hello, I just signed up here because this site seems to have a lot of users with plenty of knowledge and and time on the draw behind them. I've only shot a vintage fiberglass Bear 30# Flatbow when I was a teenager. Now I want to get into recurve archery and hunting. I'm going to buy one soon but I want as much info as I can get before I make my choice. I'm leaning toward one piece traditional, asiatic recurves rather than takedown recurves because I like the way they look and sound compared to takedowns and I've heard stories of cheap takedowns cracking and snapping at the bolt. I've had my eyes on this bow, or something similar. https://www.etsy.com/listing/127779853/longbowmaker-chinese-traditional-hunting?ref=unav_listing-other You guys would be able to tell if this bow is worthy or if you know a good make/seller of these types of bows. I'm also interested in wooden two pin sights... particularly one that can be fastened on to the bow without drilling holes into it. I can't find a sight like that for sale... I would like to know a way to make one with toothpicks or matchsticks... a design would be great.
What price range are you looking at? I have not had any experience with any Asiatic bows. The draw weight looks like it might work but draw weight does not always translate to speed and power.
More than $100, under $250, I've never used a compound bow. I posted this question in this section because there are more users here.
