recurve bow

edited March 2007 in Bow Hunting and Target Archery
I have hunted 20 plus years with a compound bow. I picked up a recurve the other day and and shot it a few times and it was a real pleasure to shoot. I deceided to buy a used Bear recurve to shoot. I am looking at a tackedown recurve that is 60" long and 60# draw weight. The price is right and I have always shot 80# draw weight compound bows at 65% let off. Is this to much bow to learn with?

    I HAVE A BROWNING NOMAD 1 RECURVE IF I HAD TO SAY IT IS ALMOST PERFECT EXCEPT THE STRING. WHAT WOULD BE THE VALUE OF THIS BOW? THE SERIAL # IS 7E6834 IT IS 44# 54" AND BELOW ALL THAT IS A I. ALSO I HAVE TWO PSE COMPOUND BOWS BOTH ARE AT LEAST 12 YEARS OLD. ONE POLARIS AND ONE VULCAN. WOULD ANY ONE KNOW ABOUT HOW MUCH THESE ARE WORTH.

    I would like to find a short recurve bow with around a #50 pull. I would prefer it to be fiberglass. I have not shot in around fifteen years and really have no ideal where to buy a bow.

    Check out flebay#190086989122and180089284434 I may be a little low,it has ben a while since I was in to this .The compounds are not worth much.coumpound shooters always want the newest thing out.I saw them often at work .But I drove a garbage truck for 22yr.(that was toung in cheek)

    We thank you and fleabay for the expert opinion. I mean no disrespect, I just found it funny you talk about being an expert and all you did for the guy was go to fleabay to look up a price. [:D]
