looking for a recurve bow

Post by Nihangsingh » Mon Sep 01, 2014 10:34 pm

Hi guys,
I have been recently practising archery on a borrowed bow. I seem to have developed some fondness for the sport. Now I wish to have a recurve bow of my own; for which I need able guidance of you all. Kindly suggest me:
1. What options do I have amongst the bows in recurve category.

2. List of sources in India and Abroad from where to procure it, without any hassle.

3. cost estimate.

4. What things to look in a bow to ascertain that it is best for me.( since I am completely new to archery)

I contacted Gsmith & Co. They offered me two of their models- RE002 & RE009 for INR 9200/- and 12500/- resp.
would it be a good deal if I proceed with the offer, analysing both quality and cost of the product?

Hoping to have some good guidance
