I have one of these only 60# @ 28".

My draw is 29.5" and it is still very smooth to that draw.

Anyone looking for a cheap but good T/D recurve needn't look any further.

Matey.. why can't you draw it to 31 inches? I don't get what you are saying here?

Some bows stack so bad after a certian draw length , it's like hitting a brick wall, especially working recurves.
Puk you can wedge the limbs to give the bow limbs more deflex and that will give you more draw length, I don't know why bow companies just don't supply them with t.d.bows...Glenn...

[Puk]

It stacks between 29 and 30 inches mate.
I need a longer bow to give me the draw length i need. I have been told that i might need to go custom made to get one long enough.

All else aside, i feel as though i always try to be a jack of all trades and master none. I do not have enough time to spend on a recurve and a compound. I would have to do a hell of a lot more work on a recurve before i was confident to take it hunting.
I am not necessarily getting out of trad, just taking a breather and concenrating on my "wheelie bow" for a while.
I will jump back in one day with the right gear for me, and probably will feel a world of difference. I have got caught a few times now getting the wrong gear for me or not doing enough homework first and not enjoying the experience as a result. It has taken me a few times to learn.

With this said, the Samick is quite a good little bow, just not right for me at the moment. Besides, i need the money for a GPS.

With a draw length like your Puk you would be better off with a recurve of 62" or longer. Howatt use to make a 66" recurve called a Ventura, I don't know if they make them anymore, they were a very good bow and not awkard at all...Glenn...

[Puk]

Thanks Glenn, the other ones i have been pointed towards are the chekmate bows of which Brian is a huge fan.
Their t/d hunter II would probably do the job, and the maker and i have discussed the idea of slightly longer limbs etc.

I'll leave that for a few years down the track. When i have learned a bit more about stalking and the animals i hunt, and can get close enough to use a recurve.

[Glenn]

No worries Puk, you couldn't go past a Checkmate bow, he is a very good bowyer, very good value for money...Glenn...

Not meaning to hi-jack your thread but do the funny looking, sock covered toes in the photo come with the bow? :lol:

[Puk]

Bahahahahaha.

Shut up little brother.
Read your signature, you just spoke and offered proof.

With friends like you, who needs enemas?

:lol: :lol:
Just kidding.
Puk

P.S. I'll have you know, those are the LOUDEST toes around. They can scare away any target animal species in a 5 mile radius by homing in on every dry twig or tripping on every root in sight. You just wait and see, you whose feet are bigger than mine!
