I gave up bowhunting in 1986 for a number of reasons, but my son now wants to take up the sport. He's deadly with my old Nomad recurve, but he wants a compound to hunt with and I have no idea what brand to tell him to have a look at. Any help will be appreciated. TH | ||

All depends on what you want to spend. New or used. If you're going to make a hole, make it a big one. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Member of the Delaware Destroyers Member Reeders Misfits NRA Life Member ENDOWMENT MEMBER NAHC Life Member DSA Life Member | |||

New, price around $500.00. TH | |||

For that money I'd look for a fully equipped used Mathews Outback. The fittings alone on a modern bow can cost $500 new. I would recommend the Mathews line for a beginning hunter, as they are very forgiving to shoot and not critical to tune. Good luck!

I have to agree. If you're going to make a hole, make it a big one. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Member of the Delaware Destroyers Member Reeders Misfits NRA Life Member ENDOWMENT MEMBER NAHC Life Member DSA Life Member | |||

First, how old is your son and what weight can he pull comfortably? If he's still growing, this could be an every year purchase. I would take him to a pro shop if there's one close. There he can try out various bows. JD | |||

Ummm...WHY??? O.K. I admitt I'm biased as I hunt with recurves. There's NO benifit at a normal hunting ranges. Trad is pure skill.  There is no mechanical advantage...and best of all no mechanical headaches and endless new gadgets to "invest" in.  If you can't smell his breath, your're not close enough! | |||
