Hi guys, bit of advice needed
After a superb weekend shooting at Argyll Field Archers my son is keen on getting a horse bow for a bit of variety when we are up there, the question is what's suitable? Currently he shoots a 18lb recurve and to be honest he can pull quite a bit higher, he's nearly 10 but strong. We probably want to go up a little for some of the longer field distances. Draw length I'm not sure on as I'm away from home at the moment and it's been a while since we measured, can edit this in later unless BKupris is around and can estimate this from the weekend? It's probably about the same as Perseus's draw length....
So does anyone have suggestions for a horsebow which isn't too expensive, isn't too much of a "toy kids bow" and is is about right for this kind of archer as a starting point?
Cheers
