After having 70 odd reads of my question and having no responses I am thinking my question is in the wrong place, so here goes, I'll try again in another category, i'm sure someone out there can help.
At present I shoot target recurve, 70",with 30lbs limbs, aprox.giving 40lbs or so on the fingers draw length 31 1/2".and would like to try Flatbow,What would I need to get started; size, draw weight, type of string, etc.
Would I be able to use my old Eclips X7's 2212 and plat plus'2016 which have feathers on,?
One reason for trying Flatbow is to cut down on all the time spent fiddling about setting up my recurve and taking it down after short while. I feel it could probably be more satisfying after reading what other archers have written.
I am looking at the Samick Flatbow which seems to be 69" and will come within budget,or would I need a longer one? and what about the draw weight ? do I go for the same limb poundage or do I have to go higher? I want to do 18 to 30mtrs and it will be mainly 18mtrs. due to space constraints .
I would be pleased to have any advice
