I broke my left (string) arm fairly badly last year and unsurprisingly had to stop shooting. Soon I should be allowed to start putting a bit more stress on it, so obviously I'm trying to work out what I can shoot.
I've got a fair bit muscle wastage, and even without that 6 months out of archery is going make it difficult hold my C4 steady, let alone pull 50lb or so. Also, I'll need to gradually increase the draw weight over the next year from a fairly low (maybe 20lb) starting point.
So what I think I need is a bow with a wide range of draw weights for whatever my draw length is now - it was 27.5" - and one that's not too heavy so I can hold it for an entire round.
I've had a look around, and the (deep breath) Bowtech Diamond Infinite Edge SP-1 looks like it might fit the bill. It'll go down to 18lb peak at 27", and up to 50-something, and it only weighs around 1.6Kg. The other advantage of the SP-1 is that it comes in left handed and it has 1/2 inch draw length adjustment.
Anyway, what I really want to know is: are there any better, preferably cheaper, bows out there that will do the job?
Cheers,
Simon.
