I used to shoot a bit recreationally as a youth, with a compound. I loved the recurves at Boy Scout camp but never had one myself. My rangemaster would let me choose from his selection of beautiful vintage recurves. I loved learning to shoot instinctively, but never got a classic bow myself.
Fast forward 20 years and now I'm 35 with my own children. I have been teaching them with child learner bows and it's now reignited my own desire to shoot. I still have the old Darton compound 55# 28" draw in the garage but want to shoot traditional like I used to really enjoy.
I am looking strongly at the Samick Sage at about 40-45# to start, but am interested in what to look for in a vintage bow (ebay, garage sales, etc.) in case the opportunity presents itself. Advice and recommendations are welcome.
