As an archer co ing back after a few years break I would ask some unbiased opinions. I'm here in the UK, my local club has a waiting list of some three months or more. I'm not ne to the sport but five years without shooting. I am currently using a takedown recurve 62" with 40# maple/glass limbs. Much the same as my previous 34lb bow. Although ordered custom wooden arrows yet to arrive shooting feather Fletching on 32" carbon shafts, 100 grain field points with alloy inserts. Spine 500, brace height 7/34". My draw 24"" My posture/body position seems OK as does drawing and holding 40 lbs comfortably. However, I am struggling to hit my target at 15 yards??? ( home made from layers of floor carpet in wooden frame, don't laugh 😂). This target being about 18 inch square. Maybe out of practice as used to shoot at a club quite well. I've been lucky enough to get permission from a local farmer to practice in field/woodland. The only benefit , however slight is by using 160Gn broadheads. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?. Cliff
Kramer knows this but ILF traditional bows are not locked in to poundage, they have approximately plus minus 10% of their default weight in poundage change. I like the band idea.
I will tell people coming from compound to get an ILF bow that is made for 3D/hunting but has ability to use a sight and a rest, so they can use a compound sight, possibly a drop away rest made for bowfishing with a bowfishing recurve/longbow so they can transition quicker to traditional bows.
May as well just tell them to keep shooting compound because once you remove the rest and sights from the trad bow they'll basically have to completely start over learning to shoot the trad bow without that garb...
Any good ideas on figuring out a bow style for my kids? I remember growing up with the kids red recurve bow. Made me really not like the kids red compound bows. 😊
As some one who has shoot both recurves and compounds for nearly 20 years it really irks me when recurve people start saying compounds draw easy because of cams. The last 1/4" of draw does let off to allow aiming time. Recurves are not held for 30 seconds so it does not matter. This idea may have been true of early compoynds, but in modern times the cams are not used to make a 60# draw easy, they are made to make 315lbs of force on the limbs a 60# draw for 29.5 of 30", with only the last 1/4" being let off. Shooting my 60# at 20" howatt recurve next to my 60# elite compound, the recurve feels like it could be 25#. It is so smooth and so light compared to the agressive compound that peaks at 60# in the first two inches of draw.

First! Awesome stuff! 👌
How many tubes do you say poundage?
I don't think I tubed at all...

why does your bow look like it has massive hinges as the fades? not an expert jw
It does look that way. Even if it's not, I don't like the asthetic...
45+35 = 4:10
I stick to a 30lbs recurve/longbow.........damn I'm getting old.
