I've always been a firearms guy but now that I'm saddlehunting a severe bowhunting itch has grown in the back of my mind.
I know everyone has their preferences but just looking for enough general info so I can start knowing what questions to ask.
Thinking I'd like to go recurve but not really sure of the pro's and con's. Dont have a huge bow budget (not gonna be running out and building a Mathews anytime soon) but I've got a gun range with a great bow shop that does quality 2nd hand stuff so think I might run across a good deal there.
I want a good beginner set up but one that I can actually successfully hunt with for the first couple years.
Thinking recurve because I have this crazy idea of eventually making my own recurve and hunting with it so women can smell my raw masculinity from the next county over. Just kidding of course but taking a nice deer with a bow I made would be a really awesome achievement. Not sure if my head is in the clouds but why not. Good to have goals.
Figured I'd see what you guys have to say so I don't walk into the bow shop a complete obvious newb that buys the first thing within budget that doesn't end up being actually useful.
