WTB Heavier Longbow (preferred) or Recurve budget to $300
Fellow archers,
As per the title, I'm after a longbow with a draw weight around 80-100lb, or alternatively a recurve, to $300 but prefer to spend less. Not after anything fancy, just wanting to continue developing strength and accuracy at higher weights.
Cheers,
Jake

Re: WTB 80-100lb Longbow (preferred) or Recurve budget to $3
Hi Jake,
I make English warbows in those weights fairly frequently. (currently working on a 130lb bow).
I think you'll be hard pressed to get something in those kind of weights for $300 tho.
What style of shooting will you be doing with the bow?

Hey there Colin,
Thanks for the reply. It'll be for backyard target, 3D and eventually hunting, and yes, I expect to be looking for some time.
I will eventually make some bows, but starting at lower weights and expecting failures along the way. I've had a look at your build threads, impressive!

Jake

Bump. Now after anything from 55-60# up as my longbow is now an ex-longbow and I'm getting itchy string fingers.

good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from poor judgement
Nothing is easy. That's why it's called hunting, and not killing

I have a 110lb warbow that will be for sale shortly... might have to up your budget a tad tho.
PM me if you want to chat about it anyway mate.

Mate I'd struggle with 110#, but do like a challenge. Budget's pretty tight for now but will let you know if that changes. Thanks for posting.
