Hi guys and gals I am considering getting into archery, with the intention of hunting, as opposed to target shooting.
Bit surprised by the cost but, am not wanting to spend a massive amount in case I don't like it, flung a few arrows and it was fun but am unsure whether to get a recurve, and I have found one that will accept an arrow rest and sights as well as a quiver on the side, or go for a compound, that obviously will take all of that and more.
Dont need advice about brands, just types, I understand that with a recurve I will need gloves and with a compound I will need a release aid, and with both effective hunting range will be a max of about 40 metres to reduce chance of just wounding an animal, so will a recurve cut it-as it's about half the cost of a compound, or does the compound really make for a much better tool?
Please tell me what you went with and why.
Shelley
