JoeyD asked:


Also, I want to stay inexpensive and have the option of hunting with the bow. I was looking at the Hoyt Gamemaster. Anyone have any recommendations.

I would prefer people with experience to answer. That is why I would appreciate it if you could explain why you choose that weight.

I am 17 years old and of capable of drawing a 65 pound recurve already.

…Thanks for the answers…

At the moment I’m not worried about the actual hunt. I’m more interested now in learning to shoot and get really good at it. I received a Fred Bear Element compound bow for Christmas set at 28″ 60-70lb draw. The archery shop I got set up at set the bow at like 55lbs to start me out…Is this ok since the bow weight says 60-70? Any other advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I’m thinking of buying a custom bow and I need to know how you determine draw weight percentage and draw length.

Thanks
Not modern bows. I’m talking about the ol’ hickory wood bows.
I’m very new to this. So I really don’t know many of the terminologies needed to know. The main purpose is to display, but I would like to learn how to shoot. I hold bows with my left hand. If you know of any dealers in Oregon, that would be great. Also, if any training courses are availible in Oregon, that would be great.
