I did the bowhunter education class today! Good info. Now to decide what bow I want to buy...

That 1 out of every 4 bowhunters that use tree stands will fall out of them! Being a structural ironworker, those statistics are unreal to me. Maybe they told us that to make us more aware of the dangers of hunting from tree stands. LOL
Yeah, I think I will get a compound bow first. Eventually, I'll buy a recurve also.
From what I've read on hunting forums, 3 Rivers Archery seems to be the place to go if you're into traditional(recurve and long) bows.

No doubt I would imagine that to account for some of the falls.
Now onto bows.
I have recurves, traditional korean bows and of course compounds bows and a crossbow or two. Personally if I am shooting for performance I would want a compound bow. They do feel like a machine but they simply are that much better. So if you are hunting my recommendation is a compound bow.
Brian, what kind of Korean bow do you have? I have several asian bows and I was eyeing a Korean one a while back.

Hey David,
I have a synthetic korean horn bow and a real one. Definitely I would always advise to buy a synthetic one first. They are similar if not identical to your typical mongol or hun bow. Very, very powerful.
You can see it here in an IRT class we held on Archery and also Tomahawk throwing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dXRwnIyJ7Y&feature=channel_page
The synthetic one is right at the beginning. Enjoy.The 60 lbs is more like closer to around 90 on your typical recurve.
Look into the Tropyline Treesaddle if you are worried about treestands. I have been using one for about three years now and I would never go back to a traditional hang on stand.
