Hello from NY!

[Ginob]

I'm up in Orange County  and looking to get back into archery after about a 15+ year break. Back then, it was a compound with a glove ( no mechanical release).
Now days, I'm only interested in getting back in via a recurve and am an eager student, looking to learn whatever I can.
I called around to several of the archery shops by where I live and nobody was carrying any recurves in stock, much less the left hander I need. Did find "ONE" recurve at Gander Mt. in Middletown, a RH Bear Grizzly. Damn that was beautiful & sooooo light!
Anyway, I look forward to getting up to speed, proficient at ethical distances, and back in the woods to do some "whole foods" shopping!

Welcome Genaro.

I have a bow you might be interested in. probably can deliver it too. I'll send you a message before I place it on the big auction.

There are a lot of great Trad Gangers in your area. I can think of a few of them off the top of my head. One of them is a lefty also.

It's a great place for deer hunting too.

again, Welcome!

Gino, I live in Orange. I haven't seen many shops in our area that carry many traditional bows. never the less a left handed one. Someone gave me this advice when I started messing around with traditional archery and I'm going to pass it on too you. Go on e-bay, buy a cheap 40-45 pound recurve or long bow and start with that. Don't spend too much the cheaper the better to start with. Make sure to check your draw lenght because a 45 pound bow at 28 inches will be 51 ponds if your a 30 inch draw and vice versa. You want to be shooting light to start with. hope that helps. If you ever want to shoot send me an e-mail message...Andre!                    Bellaamore85@optonline.net
