Hello,
I've started in archery 3 weeks ago, having tried 3 or 4 diferent bows (wood recurve, Olympic recurve and compound) at the local Club (Lisbon), during the 3 sessions I had.
The recurve was the one I enjoyed the most. As so I asked the coach for some pointers in buying my fisrt recurve bow (he owns an archery shop).
The equipment he advised me was: 1- Samick Avante riser with Samick Athlete Limbs (not sure if fiber or carbon )
2- Cartel Xpert riser with Cartel Fantom limbs
3- Cartel Fantom riser with Cartel Fantom Limbs
He also told that i could match any of the given limbs with any riser.
The thing is that I'm not sure if this equipment is the proper one for me, and since i will be spending around 300 euros plus I would like to have more opinions about the quality of this equipment for a beginner.
Have in mind that altough i'm new to archery i'm willing to learn an practice as much and i can, because I've just fallen in love for this sport.
I've read about Samick moving it's production to china and how it downgraded the overall quality of it's products... and how Cartel usually copys other brands models and produce cheaper and low quality.. Is this true? or are they reliable ?
I just want to be sure I'm buying the best equipment within my 350 euros budget.
Thanks a lot
