Don't know what is he thinking.

I like the style of one piece bows but I am scared it won't last as long since I read that the legs/limbs might degrade overtime since it is wooden. Do people prefer recurve bows because they can replace the limbs/legs easier? Are these prices good? Would love to know. If there are anything else I should look at, let me know. I would love to go in person and buy it instead of online.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to buy my first aluminum recurve riser and could use some advice on the best quality and price.

I’ve taken a couple of classes from HiTech Archery in Fullerton CA and really liked the feel of aluminum recurve bows. This is the only store in California that sells bows. I mainly want it for weekend target shooting, and possibly use it for fishing(don't need a specialize fish bow)

I’ve seen mixed opinions about buying from HiTech Archery(especially the packages that are horrible price) vs ordering online such as site as Lancaster Archery. I’d prefer to buy in person for proper fitting, but I also want to avoid overpaying. So, hopefully I can find similar price and model.

A few questions:

• Are older models still worth it, or should I stick to newer ones?
• Foam limbs or wood limbs for a beginner?

Again, I would appreciate all the advice and recommendations. I would love to find a bow that suits me.
