Recurve Bows

[Phauxtoe]

saw an awesome takedown bow and it sparked my interest.
I have not done much archery for 25 years, but was thinking about it again.

anyone with info or a place to get good info?

thanks

I wasn't sure what you were looking for, the first site is pretty much for guys that make their own. The second site is for people that like traditional recurves and longbows, with a little how to using modern materials. The third site is a supplier of traditional archery goods, both finished product and for do-it-yourselfer's.
Iv'e been actively involved in archery for over sixty years, if I can help just let me know.

Funny, I just began my research, education and interest in these bows.

Archerytalk is a wealth of knowledge...I have a Pse king fisher take down recurve I use for bow fishing but with the right things changed out and arrows it can be used for hunting. I also have a take down Hoyt game master II. This is a great hunting bow. They break down compact.

That's pretty handy but unless you have some skills already with a longbow or flatbow most people wouldn't be able to hit the broad side of a barn with that.

Seconded.

I bow hunt with a compound bow and that's hard enough. Recurves shoot slower and with less accuracy. Using a recurve bow to hit small game is something you would never want to bet your life on. To be accurate with a recurve takes an incredible amount of practice. I can't see a scenario in which this has value, when you could already have a henry survival 22.

Same here. I've been actively involved in traditional archery for more than 25 years myself. I'm a member on both the tradgang and Archerytalk sites and have been for many years. I taught my wife , all four of my children and countless more how to shoot recurves and longbows. Mrs.S&W Fan and I have attended one of the largest traditional archery rendezvous in the northeast down in Denton Hill PA for over 15 years. There are many more all over the country.

It can certainly be done. You would just need the skills to do so. I bowhunt exclusively with a longbow or one of my recurves for deer, rabbits,squirrels and on occasion turkeys.

Building your own self bows can be very rewarding but very frustrating at the same time. I've been doing it over 30 years and at the end of the day still enjoy it as much as when I started.

What do you want to know? I think archery is OK. There are 5 other walls like this too. LOL

I was researching building a compound bow a couple of years ago. I then found a great deal on a Bowtech Prodigy. It's still NIB.
At some point I need to get some accessories for it.

You have a Prodigy and haven't used it? Shall I kick your ass now or now?? LOL Awesome bows those are. You let me know what you're looking at for acc's and I can hook you up. (just so happens I work in a pro shop that is a Bowtech dealer among others)

I will look you up when the time comes ...... Saratoga is a reasonable trip for me. Besides, I'll finally get to meet someone from here.

 

[Chicken Shoot]

You let me know ahead of time and I'll setup some targets at the club which is 7 miles from the shop.

You’ve got some fine specimens there. Is that a Kodiak special I see there?
