Hi folks,
A buddy of mine has accompanied me on three elk hunts. He's not a hunter but wants to be, but he wants to start with a trad bow as he spent a lot of time shooting one when he was a kid. He was ready to buy one this summer when he hit a snag: he discovered he is left eye dominant but shot right handed growing up. It's September now, he still hasn't bought one, has been eyeing some nice/higher priced bows but hasn't pulled the trigger yet. So, I've decided to offload some risk for him and buy him a decent beginner setup to get him started.
I'm looking at a Samick Sage, left handed to match his eye dominance. Curious what you guys think on draw weight? He's a decent sized guy, like 5'10 180+ pounds, strong. I imagine he'd no doubt buy a 70# compound bow, 29"ish draw length. He was trying some 50# RH bows at Cabela's one time and think he feels comfortable at 50#, but I'm thinking to go LH and as a beginner bow he can economically replace or buy new limbs for maybe 45# is the way to go. Ideally he'd shoot this recreationally this fall and winter and sometime this winter/spring spend a day at that place in Denver shooting everything they have.
My finger is hovering over the BUY NOW button at Amazon...thanks for your help folks.
