Hello all, a bit of advice needed....
I've been shooting recurve since I started archery last summer and have been progressing pretty well. However I really want to move over to a longbow It's bonus day on Thursday (no I'm not a banker ) and If I dont spend it the wife will!
As a bit of background I comfortably shoot my 34lb recurve and have had a go with a 50lb ELB which whilst quite different wasn't massively difficult to draw.
Now for the questions:
1. I'd like to be able to carry on with my recurve, how easy is it to shoot with both? Should I go one or the other as they are so different?
2. As I have cash burining a hole on my pocket, is there any mileage in going a bit more high end for my 1st bow? I'm thinking 350 ish for a nice Adie Hays I've seen. Or would cheaper be a better start?
3. Weight, i'm kinda thinking about 50lb, but then again if I do go for the more expensive bow, would 60 be better (and last me longer)
Any advice would be most welcome.
Thanks
Steven
