Itching for a recurve

[Sidekick]

where's the best place to get a good one for a decent price

There is a very nice black widow in the classifieds. Its not cheap, but if you buy it you will never have to upgrade.

For something cheaper, but as good look for a used bob sarrels bow.

I have the same itch, and someone recommended that I read "Shooting the Stickbow" by Anthony Camera before I do anything. I'm glad I'm taking that advice because it is changing my outlook on some of my pre-conceived notions. I'm not going to spend a lot on a starter recurve. There are a lot of decent starter bows out there between $100-$150 from Samick, OMP, and Ragim that have been recommended to me. Lots of dealers on the internet carry those bows.

What do you consider a decent price? Trad bows can easily cost more then a compound, and hold their value very well. Alot of guys in the trad section that have been asking about starter recurves have been trying the Samick Sage. It's about $130, and it's a takedown, so you can buy it with lower poundage limbs to learn with, and once you get proficient, you'll just need to buy heavier limbs, instead of a whole new bow.

This is very sound advice. Then when you recognize that you are seriously addicted go see Bob Sarrels.

I have a Bob Sorrels long bow that I'm looking to sell, haven't shot it much and I don't see myself pulling it out to hunt. PM me and I'll send pics and stats.
