Good stick bows will start at 600 and go up from there. Takedown recurves with custom wood run around $800.00-1000.00. I had one built by Bruin Bows and another one built by the late Jim Brackenbury, but after both shoulders went out I sold them. It takes considerable practice to be good with one. If a person wants to hunt the old way, I highly endorse that. I shot a 58 lb draw at 31" draw length. That bow would shoot 217 f/s smooth to draw quiet to shoot. I started bow hunting in the late 60's using Fred Bear stick bows, in good shape they are now collector items. |
