Been kicking around the idea

blood on the ground

Cross threading is better than two lock washers.
Of trying my hand at traditional archery. I have visited several stores and realy like a recurve sold at Cabelas. Its a 62inch 45lb draw recurve for 140$.... Dont blast me for going towards the box store brand as i just wanted a starting place! Im settled on the bow because its a minimal investment and a comfortable place for me to start. I'm just lost when it comes to arrows and tips because their selection seems to be geared towards the compound and cross bow guys.
Can i still use a carbon or aluminum arrows? Or should I strictly use wooden arrows?

or you can be brutaly honest and say im starting at the wrong place....

Any input would be much appreciated!

The bow is a good place to start poundage-wise. The arrows are a personal choice, just be sure you get the RIGHT ARROWS FOR YOU no matter what material you choose. Call me. We can go over all of it. D.

Awesome, go for it! Recurve or Longbow, either or can shoot just about anything. Get the feel of the bow and shoot, shoot, shoot !

Welcome to trad/hunting archery. That will not be your last, but may be your first of many. It's addicting. Again, I use Aluminums, I use carbon, and occasionally wood. My main arrow is aluminum. Get the right deflection, and it will be more enjoyable to shoot.

Come to the TBG shoot in may in Ranger Ga. We will be able to help you get started plus it will be a great time. If you live close enough you could come by my house and I have many test arrows and we could figure out what arrow you need

I'm in Cartersville and I have arrows that shoot off my 45# recurve. You are welcome to come shoot and see how they fly off your bow.
