Hello, As the title suggests, I am looking to purchase an entry level bow for deer season here in Virginia. I have always enjoyed traditional hunting methods and continue to use my 54. cal flintlock made by Tennessee Valley Muzzleloaders. Does anyone have any suggestions, mainly brands, that sell reasonably priced yet efficient recurve bows for the entry level bow hunter? Without knowing anything about bow hunting perhaps my height and weight affect the purchase? 6'0 170 1bs. Thank you
Would not get more than 50#. Would suggest a recurve of not less than 60" amo length.. Check e-bay, there's lots of older bow that are pretty cheaply priced and make excellant bows.
An old Bear Kodiak or Samick do some great entry level bows ie sage, volcano and more, you wanna be looking at around 40# for starters, until you get shooting good at least and then you can work your way up on the poundage. If you get a takedown, bow you will only need to replace the limbs and not the whole bow. Get yourself Masters of the Barebow 3, its a very informative dvd and get practicing
Check out eBay. Begin with a 40-45lb bow. You can still hunt with that weight and not over bow yourself. Good bows and not just for starters: Fred Bear; Grizzly, Hunter, Kodiak ( all wood or magnesium ) Wing; ( almost any model ) Red Wing Hunter is common and excellent Shakespeare; Neceada Ben Pearson; Colt, Mustang There are others but this is a start. Make sure you match the arrows to the bow and ask lots of questions. This is the best place for answers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
30-35# draw Samick Journey or Sage. You can get limbs heavier limbs as you progress (6-12 months). This will allow you to developed good form then you can get any bow your heart desires. Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk 2
Samick Sage if your looking for the most cost effective. their about $140 brand new. And the best part about them is the limbs are replaceable so if you feel the need to increase the DW on the bow, you can buy heavier weighted limbs right from a site. Good luck1
