I realize there's a ton of threads like this on here but none that really match my specs or wants.
Looking at swapping to trad before the new year. I have owned a compound for about a year and am getting a little burnt on all the technology gone into the new bows.
I am 18 years old and was lucky enough to kill a bull elk with my Prime Rize this elk season,probably the best feeling in the world but for some reason I feel the trad world calling. I'm kinda a gear guru and have a ton of gear including my very nicely set up compound but something in me wants to try the stick.
Ok about what I want. I'm 6 ft with 29 inch draw length and looking for a one piece wood longbow. I ultimately want about 40-43 lbs at my 29 inch draw. I no a lot of people will recommend the sammick sage and such but I'm looking for something a bit more trad than that. Also the reason for over 40 lbs is cause of game laws and due to funding I can't really justify two bows. Mainly just a doe hunting bow and and ultimately would be confident enough by next fall to do a spot and stalk antelope hunt. Price range is $400 for bear bow.
Just asking for opinions and pointers.
Thanks!
