recurve bows

What is a good recurve bow for hunting pigs or deer?

I’ve had experience with smaller compound and recurve bows but want to start hunting and am looking for some info on draw weight and length

45-lb draw -weight is enough to satisfy every State Game Commission (or DNR, or whatever they call it in each State). It’s the arrows you should actually be worrying more about, since without a properly made arrow, even the best bow in the world is just another bow. But here’s something to keep in mind: Pull too much weight and you risk not only injuring yourself, but you also rick losing accuracy.

Make sure your arrows are up to the job, no matter what animal you’re going for.

As for the length of the bow, that’s up to your personal preference and where you plan to be hunting. Here’s a hint: The longer length recurves do not work well in heavy brush; best to go with something less than 56″ if you plan to be in heavy brush. Of course, the shorter the bow (even with recurve bows), the more string pinch there usually is.

And forget about using a long stabilizer on the bow; it’ll just get caught in the brush/weeds/etc. if you REALLY need to use a stabilizer while hunting, then you need to practice more or use a lower draw-weight — or both. (or maybe even a physically lighter-weight bow)
