Hello again fellow enthusiasts!
My girlfriend has Carpal Tunnel in both wrists. This is a deterrent for her to go shooting.
She has expressed interest in shooting bow of the recurve type before. Recently a law was passed where people can have a crossbow in my state.
I was thinking of a recurve for myself because there is something traditional about it that appeals to me, less parts, and if a design works it works.
She has said she would "totally" get a crossbow. She also thinks the kids should learn early since she started at 8 years old. I personally have never shot a bow except one time in my life.
What should I expect to pay for a good beginner for both? Is it good to get say a 70 dollar crossbow versus a 40 dollar one? I have seen PSE bows that are recurves and they go for about 120 dollars. For the bows themselves for the recurve I think 125 to spend on the bow itself is fine and I think about the same for the crossbow would be fine.
