Greatree archery has a bow they call Mohegan Pro has a good solid dark hardwood laminated riser/handle and brand new of their manufacture black glass laminated limbs. Modern recurves with fast flyte string in the 30#-35# range will shoot just as well as older 40-45# bows. Usually a bow that is longer will shoot easier, and for a beginner that's a plus. Are you right handed or left handed? You'll need to purchase a bow according to that. Here are some things you need to know before you buy. They also have a few that are more costly that look better but for all intense and purposes won't shoot any better. At least two places will have what you are looking for. Samick has a couple, so does Greatree archery. That being stated here, If you are wanting to keep cost low I would suggest almost any of the Asian manufactured takedown recurve bows. Rather you have the bow for targets or survival hunting is not my concern.
It's an excellent resource and FILLED with knowledge and enthusiasts. They are to traditional archery what BCUSA is to bushcrafting. When you get into bigger/tougher animals you really need some more poundage to help push through. Having a SHARP broadhead and shot placement are more important than anything when bowhunting up to medium sized game. If you want to go up to medium sized animals I'd look for a 45lb bow or heavier. For hunting small game and target work something in the 30-35lb range would be plenty adequate.
Rubber blunts - these have been used in barns and what not for pest animals (rats/birds) and plinking. Field points and/or Judo points - these are used for target practice and "plinking". RFA Talons and/or Judo points - These are used for stump shooting and small game hunting such as squirrel and rabbits. RFA Pheonix, Magnus Stingers, and/or Badger Broadheads - these are all used for hunting medium sized game such as deer and hogs. As for points, I use a lot of different types, depending on my needs: In Hungaria are some places (privately owned with bred game), youre paying $12000 for 2 weeks hunting and seeing you get some game.Īlso in France there is payed hunting, but to me that is not what hunting is.Īny quality traditional bow could be used for survival. being at the point that i can hunt with a bow and arrow means for me i'll only have to get a green card and its fine for me. i've been spotted a couple off times by our lawman but he saw i didn't leave any beercans and such. It all has to be done "illegaly" but it is the matter how you do it. We are not even allowed to camp out in the so called wilds here! still i sleep out for 30 nights at least every year you know what im saying. like i am not allowed to hunt with it but you may have it in youre backyard for shooting at targets like 3D's for instance.įor me it is important that when the situation ever occurs that i am in the ability to hunt for Elk, Moose or Deer. Yeah, it is in fact forbidden but some regulations speak against each other.
