I began my love for archery and soon after bow hunting at the ripe old age of 12
My older brother went all in on archery and got our dad to buy him a 55lb Bear Kodiak Magnum reserve bow and arrows. As was the norm my brother soon lost interest in the bow and it became mine
I shot and hunted with it for over 12 years years until I saved up to buy my first compound a York Archery Excalibur Compound
Unfortunately without my knowing until much much to late my brother gave the Kodiak magnum to a son of some looser bimbo he was involved with and I never saw it again.
I've often considered getting back into shooting a traditional bow but a good made in USA recurve is rather costly and I only would buy a made in USA bow.
Are there any affordable made in USA reserves out there?
What size aluminum arrows are for use in a 55lb recurve as I have several dozen left from my pre carbon archery life or is carbon arrows better?
And lastly If I were to buy used what would be some good advice in terms of avoiding buying a damaged used recerve say from a place like Ebay or Archery Talk?
Thanks
