G'day all, I offered my eldest $50 to sell his ps3 on top of what he made from the sale. After 3 days he sold it. He bought a bear recurve? Being a rifle shooter I was unsure. After a few shot's I'm hooked.
So I'm after a LH recurve/longbow. For hunting and off a horse. Been looking at the predator huntsman, bear grizzly viper deluxe etc etc. Any thoughts so many
?? Needing a bow to take a 30" draw.
Glad to support any locals who build there own.
Cheers Herb

Welcome Wayne, Glad you have been bitten by the Trad bug. There is a nice LH recurve in the trade blanket at the moment that would accommodate your long draw. However it is a top of the line Blacktail from memory. Cheers Steve

Welcome to Ozbow Herb.
I would suggest one of mine but being your first bow perhaps a cheaper (maybe second hand) one is more in order until you really work out what you want.
Don't mind the guys calling you Wayne,,,, your profile name is a bit misleading
.
Chears, Rob

Welcome to Ozbow, Herb!
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!
