How much does it cost to have fun? Not very much if you invest in traditional archery. All you’ll need is a long bow (or recurve), an economical quiver and feathered arrows that are matched to the poundage of your bow. Then put on an orange cap, a bright safety vest and head into the wilderness and you’ll have a ball! NOTE: Just make sure you’ve practiced at safe targets at known distances first and have developed your basic skill set. Then, always know what you are shooting at BEFORE you even aim that lethal arrow! I like having a small hill behind my target so finding the arrow is easy when I miss. Then take your children and spouse out and teach them how to shoot "instinctively" too and have a great time (economically) with your family! PS: One day out in the city with them will pay for a lifetime of fun for any member of your family in traditional archery! Here at “Little Bear Archery” my son (Little Bear) and I buy solid used bows and then tune them up to make them safer and more “shoot-able” to the average archer. Upon arrival of new inventory we inspect each bow for safety and, if it meets our standards, add whatever it needs to make the bow ready-to-go for YOU right out of the box. This may include adding a new waxed string, an arrow rest, sight, stabilizer bar and a thorough cleaning of the bow and case. When we acquire a compound bow that feels too heavy to pull back (e.g. typically bows set at 65#s or higher) we'll reduce the draw weight to the lowest safe position so the archer can learn to shoot at the easier draw setting and will estimate this lower weight for each bow listed. If you would like us to raise the weight setting simply ask us and we will be happy to make this adjustment for you. PLEASE NOTE: WE DO NOT RECOMMEND tuning the bow to a lower poundage (pull) setting (e.g. counter-clockwise) than we have set the bow at unless you are skilled in this area or injury may result as the bow comes apart in your hands! It is much safer to have a local archery pro shop do this for you, which they'll usually do for free. NOTE: It is safer to buy a lower pound pull bow that can be adjusted to a heavier weight setting as your skill level and strength increase with practice. If you are unsure of your personal requirements please send us questions or have a local archery pro help you size your bow accordingly BEFORE buying any of ours. Ultimately you’ll need to know; 1) your proper draw length, 2) the best draw pull poundage range (e.g. 35# to 45#) and, 3) how the bow will be used since there is a considerable variation between sitting in a tree stand hunting for Bambi’s dad and pulling and shooting downward vs. standing at a target range and shooting straight across a field. IT IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO DRAW YOUR BOW WHILE POINTING DOWNWARD so that is a great test for you and an indicator of what YOUR minimal draw weight could be set at. Strength increases quickly and naturally with practice so don't start with too heavy a pull or you risk losing control and launching an arrow far off target. Also determine BEFORE PURCHASE if you will be using your fingers or a release? This is important to know since it significantly affects your draw length. We typically start new students on a “Basic Program” that allows them to learn to shoot instinctively. We define this as NO COMPOUNDS bows or shooting / targeting aids. Typically, long bows and recurve bows are used first and we teach our students to use their fingers properly. (If they insist on using a compound bow we'll choose one that is very easy to draw and work up from there.) Once they have mastered the basic skills we support the student’s desire to move into more powerful equipment. I shot up to EXPERT level (both lefty and righty) as a child with over 6,000 hours of practice BEFORE compound bows were even invented; so please forgive me if you disagree with my personal bias for learning this sport with a non-mechanical perspective. Also, watch Olympic archers… Q. what type of bow are they using? A: Recurves. (… although they do have some incredible stabilizers and sights on them!) There are other important matters that need to be discussed but can not be contained in a reasonably sized eBay ad. For your knowledge and family's safety I strongly suggest finding youtube videos covering any questions that come to mind. For example, you’ll need to acquire arrows that are the PROPER draw length for you AND are STRONG enough to handle the torque of YOUR current bow setting and into the immediate future as you grow stronger. A cheap ($3) arrow that is safe for a 35# bow WILL NOT WITHSTAND the force generated by a 65# bow and that is a DANGEROUS scenario just waiting to happen… so DON’T loan out your arrows to the neighbors kid who may be shooting a MUCH stronger bow than yours! This is a great sport but it needs to be practiced under the supervision of a skilled archer in order to be enjoyed safely. Visit our eBay store and view our upcoming inventory of fine bows and PLEASE DO send us any questions you have. We're just getting our inventory listed in the next few weeks so please be patient and e-mail us with any specific requests. Also, due to my childhood love of Fred Bear recurve bows, especially the phenomenal Kodiak Magnum, we will be focusing on vintage Bear recurves so keep an eye out for those as well. Also, if you buy a bow from us and also wish to purchase any of our knives, then we will be happy to provide a 10% discount on any knives in our store and then ship them in the same box at no extra charge! PS: Our “Buy Now” option includes everything in our written description. If you wish to make a lower offer then please recognize that everything is now negotiable. We will automatically decline all ridiculously low bids. If we do make a counter offer then read it carefully since; "If it is not specified in our counter-offer then it will not be included with your purchase." PPS: We reserve the right to end any auction early since we’re located in the midst of one of America’s Hunter’s Heavens here in Southern Vermont and will be selling our equipment locally as well as on-line. Be safe, enjoy your shooting and thank you for visiting with us! (Are you part of the 99%? Then you'd probably enjoy reading the novel I've written... see our store for details!) Q&A: Q. What is a bow stringer and when should it be used? A: A bow stringer is a device that makes putting on a bow string easier. You should order one if the bow is stronger than you are used to or if you are inexperienced with the technique to mount the string properly. NOTE: Improper stringing technique can cause the bow to twist, violently dislodge the string and may cause damage to the bow and/or person stringing it. Damage done due to improperly stringing the bow is not covered by Little Bear Archery.
