Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Might as well buy both sets of limbs now... you'll outgrow those 35#'ers VERY quickly. Like... buy some green bananas too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorado Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 I know I'll out grow them quickly. But it'd be nice to keep around for when my nephew or someone wants to learn. I'm looking at buying two sets of limbs anyways. But I can get both sets for less than what I could buy one bow for on many of the other competitors, and still have a better bow.

Dorado Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Will do CB. But it looks like I'm waiting for stock to come it. Everyone that I've found that carries the Samick Journey is out of stock. I measured my drawlength and came to the conclusion that I need the 64" version over the 62". So, I'm looking around right now, I sold some things and so I have enough for the bow and a few accessories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewey Cheatem, SASS #75620 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I like a longbow myself. They are very rugged and to me hold up better. I shoot a 48#. As a general rule of thumb most bows are weighed at 28". For every inch over/under 28" add 5 pounds or subtract 5 pounds. For longbows Bear and Martin makes good ones and for higher end ones Roy Hall or Black Widow. One thing to be cautious of buying a recurve on EBay or the likes is if the limbs are twisted from being strung wrong it is pretty much useless. I would try to find a shop where you could shoot them and see what you like. For recurves The Samick bows are good for the money. PSE Martin and Bear make good ones too. For higher end ones Bob Lee or Roy Hall. I would encourage getting a stringer for any recurve. As far as arrows a good aluminum will work fine. Easton 2114 is my preference. You can use wood but it takes some work to get a good set put together. 3 rivers is a good choice or Landcasters. Archery Talk is a good forum along with Tradgang. Hope this helps.
