Choosing between a compound, recurve or crossbow

[Tartar Horde]

The horse IS my bug out bag, permanent four wheel drive go anywhere runs on grass. £100 for a decent recurve!! I wish lol, more like £300-400, I think we are coming to this from different ends of the archery spectrum NR, buying a few cheap bows and using them for spare parts etc as and when they break down seems to me as false economy, the old adage "you buy cheap, you buy twice" rings true, buy quality and you only buy once. But any bow you can afford, be it from the lower quality end or high is better than none isn't it. Tibbs735 if you really want to get a compound look at the composition of the limbs as this really affects the shooting characteristics. Glass fibre limbs are sluggish and don't store energy as efficiently as carbon composite ones, If you buy a bow where the limbs can be changed for more efficient ones you can upgrade your bow at a later date. On some compounds you can change the profile of the cams allowing different "let off" weights this is useful as you can fine tune the bow for your shooting style. Don't forget folks, you can have the best bow in the world, but it is only as good as the arrows you are shooting, Arrows are the REAl key to archery, but that's a whole different can of worms
