Our club is considering buying a compound bow for teens and adults who have finished their beginner course (which is taught on a recurve) to try. Recurve shooters are pretty well catered for with second hand equipment to try at the club and of course they were taught on a basic recurve; compounders are pretty much on their own, as there are very few compounders and some of our equipment is not at all suitable for beginners/intermediates. I'm only thinking of getting a single right-hand bow at this stage.
I'm proposing that we buy something like a PSE vision, with a large draw-weight and draw-length adjustment which can be changed without pressing the bow. On top of that we would need a cheapie sight/scope; release (Decut make a pretty basic and cheap thumb release), stabiliser and rest. I was thinking about not putting a peep in at all, just to avoid the bother of needing to adjust it and the wear that poor adjustment would cause on the string.
I was wondering if any other clubs had a club compound for people to try, and if so, what kind of equipment you have.
