Ok, I'm thinking about taking the off-season to try out the traditional game. I was leaning towards a recurve because I had heard they were more forgiving/easier to shoot. Then I read the thread on the difference between a recurve and a longbow. Now I have an opportunity at a used Sarrels Teton. I know that it is a longbow and it may be too heavy for me (mid 50's and I shoot my compound at 63 lbs).
Basically, I was just wanting to know whether I would be best served to just wait until I could make it down to Austin and go by Bob's place in person or if buying a used traditional bow that I have never shot is a wise move. I just don't want to drop the cash on something that I would find out later was a poor move made out of my ignorance in the traditional game.
Help a brother out!
