I've ordered the 45 pound - I shoot 55 with a compound so I'm hoping I'll be able to handle the 45 ok.
It's a pretty looking little bow. Can't wait to see how it shoots.

If you are talking about the model QB57 (classic hunter recurve 'sold by quicks')then its a lovely bow.... very light in the hand and being quite small they are easy to carry around with you when doing field archery..... you wont be dissapointed. It looks like a childs toy, but don't be put off.... these are very powerful.

yup thats the one Ed - I was just looking for something without all the cables and pullys and bits and pieces that I invariably break or wear out on my compound, and get back to something a bit more simple. Sometimes you seem to spend more time tuning the bow than you do shooting!

Congratulations on your new bow. We call that a horse bow here. Very short and powerful for the draw weight.
That the bow I use. Mine is 55lbs draw. great little bow that packs a punch and didnt cost the earth.

Very under rated bow, and very fast. :biggthump
Get ready for a few exploding/bending arrows for a while though

Don't like the sound of that! Last time that happened to me (I overdrew and the tip of the arrow hit the back of the handle) I put a splinter through the web of my thumb on my left hand - hurt like hell and bled like a pig:shock:Rob said:Very under rated bow, and very fast. :biggthump

i should think you weren't useing a set up suited to you.. an arrow to short for your draw and a bow to light for you!

Ouch. If you try someone elses bow, always use their arrows on it. :shock:
The arrows tend to explode at the other end, but then again - I miss too much
Also if someone uses a clicker and you're not used to it - don't keep pulling when you hear the click!!Rob said:Ouch. If you try someone elses bow, always use their arrows on it. :shock:

quick question - how do you know what is the right draw weight for you? What is the right arrow length for the bow? OK, that's 2 questions, but newbie needs to know.
