Hello all,
I tried a search on this and failed to come up with much, so apologies if this has already been covered and thanks for any links to previous threads.
I am a new archer, currently shooting target on a KG Premier 66" 28lb recurve take down (1992). I like it. I am very much drawn to the 3D Field discipline, as it looks the most fun and falls readily into my attempts at "instinctive" shooting. I have noted that this is done at a fort near me and I would really like to try that!
My problem is this. I know that my drawing weight and length (to a lesser degree) will increase from my starting point as of now. I cannot estimate by how much. Most of the bows designed for this are shorter one piece jobs, so I would be buying and selling as I progress (which I will) resulting in quite an outlay that I really have not got. It makes sense for me to buy a take down with a short riser that will enable me to swap the limbs as I change. I see an ACS 12" riser for sale, but realise that this is a top of the range product, and that it only takes "ACS CX" limbs. I expect these limbs are expensive, unless there is a cheaper compatible make?
I further complicate things for myself by having a preference for attractive wood equipment, I expect a link with canoeing and wooden paddles and the general feel of it.
Any suggestions of how I can go about this will be gratefully received thank you.
Richard.
