I've always found trad interesting but never pursed it. I came across a recurve bow that was my grandfathers (see photos) and it seems like the perfect opportunity. The bow looks like it's in good shape but of course it'll need a new string. I'm sure it's over 50 years old. I was hoping to find someone local that could teach me the ropes but I haven't found anyone yet. My first goal is to get a new string. From the writing on the bow I'm assuming I would need a 61" string? Also would any of you have any resources you'd recommend me read to cut into the learning curve? Perhaps a couple books? Unfortunately, I don't have a bow shop around that deals in trad stuff so I'll have to order. Who's everyone's go to for ordering trad stuff? The learning curve seems a little overwhelming. Arrows? Shooting methods? I always through the trad would be simpler than compound. Any help or guidance is much appreciated.
