This recurve bow by Toparchery provides the power and accuracy for both hunting and target shooting. Although this bow is specifically designed for hunting, it is also great for target practice. If you are looking to learn archery so that you can go hunting with your recurve bow, then this is the one for you.
So if your left hand is dominant, you may want to consider the Tigershark bow suggested above. This bow also offers 30 lb to 50 lb draw weight. This rage is fine for a majority of archers but if you are an athlete with a strong or heavy build, you may need a higher draw weight. The beautiful wood design of this bow by TopArchery provides you with everything you need to build accuracy and go hunting with style.
The full kit is great to get any archer started from only one purchase. From bow to arrows to gloves to the silencer, this set has it all. Unfortunately, this is a right-handed bow. Meaning you hold this recurve bow with your left and draw with the right. If your left hand is your dominant hand, consider another bow on this list. One of my favorite qualities of this bow is the durability. Because this bow is handmade, you can expect a longer life expectancy of this bow.
If you care for your bow properly , it could last you a lifetime. This bow comes in 30lb, 40lb, and 50lb draw weight options which should do the trick for almost all archers. The bad news is if you need a draw weight in between those such as 45lb or more than 50lb, you will want to consider another recurve bow with more variety in draw weight. This bow is specifically made for taller, stronger archers. While every single recurve bow is suitable for target practice, not all will be suitable for hunting.
However — and this is important to understand — the main parameter that determines if you can hunt with your recurve is the draw weight on the bow, not the actual model you purchase. The higher the draw weight on your bow, the more powerful it will be and the further your arrow will travel and with more force. Let me explain why this is important. Simple: choose a recurve bow which has a draw weight of 40 pounds minimum.
Now, you can hunt perfectly well for smaller game like turkey and rabbit with a 35 or even 30 lbs. All you have to do is take a look at my recurve bow draw weight chart. So while you might not be able to handle more than 30 lbs. Your budget will dictate the kind of risers you will be looking at — but if you are able to visit a shop in person, pick up and hold as many as you can, feel the weight and balance in your hand.
Many shops will have a range and let you test risers out. The riser can be made from lots of different materials, such as wood the more traditional choice , metal or carbon. Each have their own benefits and pitfalls.
Wooden and carbon risers are both very light, needing extra stabilisation to balance, while aluminium risers are extremely rugged. Wooden bows have a limited choice, and are usually the choice of those preferring to shoot traditionally, while metal and carbon risers take advantage of modern technologies.
For beginners, growth and development of the archer is an important point to consider in selection of limbs. Most available on the market fit the ILF system fitting the green riser on the right, below , which works cross-brand, with exceptions including screw-in and the newer Hoyt Formula fitting. You are likely to outgrow your first set of limbs within a few months — therefore, one common recommendation is to buy limbs on the cheaper end of the market. Most adults will use poundage ranging from Each brand and range of limbs will offer a different feel when shot.
Some are snappy, some are soft — some use the latest in fibreglass or carbon fibre technology, some are layered with foam and many, still, use wooden cores, often bamboo. Limb choice is a very personal thing. Strings come in various lengths, materials and thicknesses to fit your bow. Ensure that the string is the right length. Thicker strings those with more strands , which are necessary for higher poundages, tend to be a little slower but may fit your chosen arrow nocks better.
Use a tied nocking point, if you can, rather than brass — as this will prolong the life of both string and finger tab. Of the many colours available, top archers often use the simple white. Equipment such as a stabilizer to steadily aim the target at full draw, a sight that can be adjusted depending on the shooting distance, a clicker that comes into play when reaching full draw, a plunger and an arrow rest allowing the arrow to be in the same position every time would be required.
Finger tab to protect your fingers is also a must when shooting bunches of arrows. You have probably seen or heard those terms quite often but you may still be confused about what the differences are from one another. As opposed to Modern Archery, the Traditional class or commonly called Trad is essentially the use of recurve bows and longbows without the use of modern equipment such as stabilizers, sights, arrow rests, cams, releases, even finger tabs, and any other tools improving your shooting which must be done instinctively without any aids.
Other shooting styles can be adopted aside from the instinctive shooting like the gap shooting, string walking, and the face walking. If you dig deeper and want to shoot like a Robin Hood, you would find Primitive Archery.
There are several definitions out there that may look the same or slightly different to those given here. Arrows are another important point and the same aspect of the material used is defining the class.
Some trad shooters use carbon or aluminum shafts while primitive shooters would only use wooden arrows. Although, some purists would say that a traditional archer should be using wooden arrows all the time as well. You may already be confused by now on what size of recurve bow you should pick. Am I right? You may have even come across several different measurements about which bow size would fit your actual draw length the best. Let's suppose that you have the average draw length of 28".
You looked it up a chart and found that the recommended recurve bow size you should choose was around 68 inches. You have started to look at the different recurve bows you were interested in and told yourself: "Where the heck are those 68" bows? The only bows available are for small people or what?
Well, not exactly. The thing is that you might not be into Olympic take-down recurve bows for which most of the charts are for.
If you are into Traditional recurve bows, one-piece or take-down, those charts become kind of useless. The following information explains why and shows you some charts so you can know what size you must pick according to your interest and draw length.
For an Olympic style recurve, the size of the bow is quite important because the longer the bow, the more stable it will be, as long as it suits your draw length as recommended in the charts.
A longer bow usually means longer brace height which results in more forgiveness and slightly less speed.
