I have an opportunity to purchase a new Fred Bear takedown recurve at what I think is a pretty good price. It is my uncle's bow, he bought it last year brand new, but shoulder injuries have kept him from shooting it much so he wants rid of it. He said he would sell me the bow, extra string, hard case and soft case he got for it, and 1 dozen arrows he built for it for $700. The bow comes with 50# limbs. I see the new ones run about $8-850. Are these bows worth the money? Or are they just overpriced due to the name? I really want a good recurve to start playing around with. I have two older recurves (an old Darton and a very old Fred Bear) that I have messed with off and on for years.
I know the bow has been well taken care of, my uncle is a fanatic when it comes to archery equipment, and I know the arrows he built for shoot very well, because I have shot with him and they fly like darts out to 40 yds.
