Cheap recurve starter bow and arrows

[mikehill]

Something forgiving for me and the misses to learn with. We are both around 5'10" with average arm length if that helps

decathlon do a very respectable trainer bow for around the £45 mark.

I was trying to find the one I got from decathlon but can't see it on their site. It was as above, wooden riser 28lbs and cracking starter bow...pic below.



I noticed they also have a nice looking bow for £39.99 https://www.decathlon.co.uk/C-33101-archery#page3

If you're looking for fibreglass or carbon arrow though, look on ebay for good offers which will be even cheaper than decathlon.

From experience I can recommend www.merlinarchery.co.uk/
Both my missus and I have bought stuff from them in the past, we got it on recommendation from the coach at our local range, he's apparently 1976 world and European champion, been using a bow since 1958, so I trusted what he said and wasn't let down.

I just good my kit from Bowsports. Only recently started archery, and I'm very happy with the kit and the service.

You're right, they are good too, I bought my Samick SKB 50 from those guys.

I have Archery World close by but was hoping for a used bargain

Are you left or right eye dominant? I'm right handed but shoot left handed.

 

[mikehill]

RH but very slightly left eye dominant. Never bothered me when shooting compound a few yeas back though. Or with rifle shooting now, just moving clays give me a little trouble.
