....searching for expert tutelage.
Enjoyed Archery when a kid at summer camp using the very basic recurve equipment. Got really good at it, and received most of the awards. As a teen, I had a Ben Pearson compound, maybe 30#, and enjoyed it then too, but it went to the wayside as well.
I want to get back into it. Took a local Adult Archery Intro class with the wife a couple of weeks ago.
I am now looking at some new equipment. This is where I ask for your advice.
Considering Bear Montana Long Bow, 50#. Heard this was great for someone with my limited experience.
Other Recommendations? (just targets, no plan to hunt at this point)
Also, I am pricing the equipment. For the bow itself, Bass Pro seems to have a good deal at 360, but I came across Hunters Friend (online) with a package deal that sounds really great.
Any one have experience with Hunter's Friend? Is it wise to purchase a package like this, online, or pay more, in the long run, for person to person interaction at a place like Bass?
Thank you
