Compound bow advice sought - NorthernRaider - 22 November 2014
Can anyone recommend a budget Compound bow that meets the following criteria,
Under $300 /£250
No longer than 32 inches axle to axle
30 to 35 pound draw weight
28 inch draw + or – a couple of inches
Ideally able to change or replace bow string or bow string assembly simply without high tech and expensive bow presses**
** quite important for preppers after TSHTF when unable to access bowyers stores.
