Recurve Bow – Traditional Archery

Our daughter started with a toy bow from the RenFest and graduated up to a small compound bow.  While it isn’t a Black Widow PX, she has now started with a Cabela Ranger Recurve Bow  in a right hand 62:, 25# setup.  but then decided that the PSE NightHawk was better, in a right hand 62″ 25# setup.  We started with what we were given, which was the Cabela’s Stalker Extreme 4 L/W feathers arrows, 340, 65/80, 9.3 GPI, with 5/16″ 75 gr. easy pull field points in a 31.5″ uncut length.  We found they were too long and heavy, and swapped them out for Stalker Extreme 45-65, in 29.25″ length, 500, 7.3 GPI, with 75 grain, 9/32″ diameter bullet points.  We use a hay bale with  a Morrell Target.  We have a finger guard and ketoh arm guards.  She is also experimenting with the much lighter 28″ Beman ICS Hunter Junior arrows, which are 7.3 GPI and 600, feather fletched.  PSE recommends Razorback or Desparado arrows at 30″ and 800 spine for up to 40 lbs.  Replacement limbs can be ordered from any retailer or from 800-824-8261 drop shipped to  your location.
