I just found a fairly reasonable priced one piece recurve online, called the oak ridge dymond recurve. It has the same length and draw weight and similar styles then some much more expensive one piece recurves like the martin hunter and bear super kodiak. I am wondering, how does the oak ridge recurve compare with other similar bows,and why is it so much cheaper then other recurve bows, please help guys, thanks.

Sorry you're not getting any replies. I can only assume no one here has any experience with that particular bow. As for the cost, again I can only assume it's mass produced (probably) in China.

Hi Jarvy,
I am shooting this Oak Ridge Dymond (Dymond wood) a lot since a few month, 30 lbs. Very smooth draw! It is a really pretty bow, nice to handle with its deep grip. Used it at first with the fast flight string at 8" brace height, but the metallic sound of the bow than is really loud. Goes better with a whisper string (produced by Bodnick Bearpaw in Germany).
Bow weight is only 900 gramms weight - for me to light for consistent target shooting, but fine to go on 3d ranges for fun. Very good reviewed in Europe. For this price a really nice bow, nothing wrong with it.

They seem to be part of https://archersgear.com/index.php . It looks like they have several different product lines with different brandings. The products seems to be mostly available in Europe and Canada. The US is not even available on their Dealers pull down. At those prices they are probably bows sourced out of somewhere like China.
