Thread: NZ Bowhunters Society

Those black hunters are a great recurve for starting out with, very accurate and forgiving. The only thing I would point out is they do tend to pull more weight than they are rated at, I have a 50lb and at 28" it is actually pulling about 57-58. I only noticed this when I bought another bow that was rated at 50lb also but seemed much easier to draw then while getting my compound set up we ran the scales over them and discovered the black hunter was indeed heavier than advertised. I'd say the 40 would be a good bow, I like my 50 and can shoot it pretty good now but it was a struggle to begin with and I lose the muscle memory to shoot it accurately very quickly if I don't shoot it all the time
