I am interested in purchasing a beginner bow for my family. We have no archery experience. I am looking for something just to do target practice in the back yard with my sons. I would love to only buy one bow that everyone could use.
We are all between 5’ 11” and 6’ 1” and between 150 to200 pounds. I have been told that a 30 to 35lbs draw weight is what we need for beginners.

I do not know if I should go for a compound bow (Genesis Original) or a recurve bow (Samick Sage or Martin Jaguar).

What would you do?

Thank you for your time.

Scott

Gregor, depends on your physical condition of course, hard to say. If I were you, I’d go with lower weight to start with, to build strength, particularly in the small stabilizer muscles that support shoulders/joints. Once those get stronger, you can change limbs to higher lbs with lower risk to your shoulder. That’s the beauty of takedown bows, all you need to do to upgrade is change limbs. Good luck!
