I am still a novice archer & since starting 3 years ago I have used a 30lb one piece traditional recurve.
I was kind of leaning towards a longbow, but unfortunately my budget is a bit too tight for that with a maximum spend of ?200 on a new bow. I have seen a couple of horsebows shot & was very impressed with their speed & look, so I'm now looking at possibly buying one...BUT...so many different styles & makes etc, plus the whole thumb draw thing which I really don't get. I currently use a three finger draw, shoot wooden arrows & use a bow stringer because I really don't get the whole leg through bow way of stringing.
Can anyone recommend anywhere to buy an horsebow from? I've looked online & a lot of websites seem to be in Canada, US or Europe...found some lovely bows on Spitfire Horsebow website, but they're also based in Canada.
Any help would be much appreciated.
