The school of hard knocks has taught me to take care of myself. Being a senior citizen has taught me I am not bullet proof. I want to take care of the body I have.
I've been an archer all my life. Recently my backyard bow broke. It was a cheapie, a PSE. So no big deal.
The good thing is, I get to buy a replacement. In order to save my body parts - my fingers, shoulders, and what ever else might take a beating from use, I want to buy the lightest, PRACTCAL bow/arrow set-up commonly available.
My question is, Who sells a traditional style bow with a very light pull poundage, and arrows (or just shafts) to match? The bow that broke was a 30#. My arrows measure 28 inches from the depth of the knock (the radius where the arrow contacts the string), to the end of the arrow if you were to unscrew and remove the point. It doesn't matter to me, long or recurve. I can fletch my own arrows. I normally use aluminum shafts. (Even for my compound bow.) I like to shoot distances of 20 to 35 yards, just because.
Some years ago I saw a used 18 pound wooden longbow in an archery shop and I didn't buy it and now I'm kicking myself.
Anyway. I would like to buy a light weight traditional style bow and arrow set-up that uses standard components. Any help you all could provide would be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking of contacting Lancaster Archery and buying the lightest 3 piece recurve from their catalog and a dozen shafts to match. Thoughts???
