Any other archers out there? I need some advice

I figured I'd ask here, to see if I found anyone to help.

So, basically, I'm looking at buying a new bow.
The bow is made by Fred Hermann, of Hermann Archery. I can't afford a Black Widow, though I wish I could, so I was wondering if this boywer would be a good substitute for the meantime.

The bow I use is a Browning, 40# @28". The new bow would be 50#. So it's a step up. Plus, mine is 56" and the new one is 60". They are both one piece recurves, so I wouldn't have to switch to a longbow.

I shot the bow today, and it felt amazing. Super smooth. I'm really tempted to get it. Does anyone have any experience that they could help me with?

Unfortunately, I don't have any advice for you on this. But I say, if it fits you well enough, than you should definitely go for it! 😃 I always trusted my gut with that and I've gotten lucky with quite a few bows. ^^ Not to mention the crossbow is REALLY fun, I like it better than both the gun and the bow.

@pebblestar-nightclan
Crossbow IS fun I agree! But I stick with the bow, I just like the feel better.

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get the bow. But, we will see.

@darthvader
Yes, that's what I hunt with. XD Yes, the bow is smoother than the crossbow. 😊

Good luck! ^^ Let me know if you choose to get it. 😊

😋 Well if it feels awesome, you should get it! And wish I could do archery. xD I do it at my friend's sometimes, cause if I tried in my backyard, I'd likely hit a car or my neighbor's stuff...

@pebblestar-nightclan Awesome. I will let you know!

@sandstorm99 bahaha. I'll stay away from you if you ever get your hands on a bow!
