Best archery basic bows according to redditors

Maybe an invisible animal detector i.e. a compass doctored up.

Unicorn urine - a small bottle filled with rainbow glitter or confetti and glycerin.

Magic rope - http://www.amazon.com/16-4Ft-5050SMD-300LED-Waterproof-Flexible/dp/B00EMSU3DK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1417459369&sr=8-3&keywords=LED+lights

used specially for setting rope snares for ogres, trolls, fairies, etc...

Buy something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Zing-Air-Hunterz-Z-Curve-Bow/dp/B00GH5JO40/ref=sr_1_5?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1417460123&sr=1-5&keywords=suction+cup+arrows
and decorate it up with ribbons or paint or whatever, call it the Medusa Slayer 9000 or something.

At that price range, you may be limited to hickory longbows:

I wish I had an answer for this that were more name-brand but beyond the one you mentioned, the only ones I could find are more than $200 (Ragim Taiga and the OMP Ozark)

Taiga http://www.amazon.com/dp/B010CHAMCG/ref=twister_B010CHAA3C

Ozark: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JBZ76M?keywords=omp%20longbow&qid=1449652106&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1


Not traditional, but I had a chance to shoot one of these and it's not terrible (I'd definitely use one in a survival situation) but I'd prefer a wooden bow over it if I had the choice: http://www.goprimalnow.com/Compact_Folding_Survival_Bow_p/cfsb-1-50.htm


You may have some luck on Ebay or craigslist as well

Amazon. It's a Barnett Sportflight. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000R9QTFY/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_nVhtybRSACB0N

It's a Ragim Matrix Jr 48" youth bow with stunt limbs (probably made from a vinyl cast of the normal limbs). It's actually the same bow they used for the Season 1 Green Arrow bow on Arrow, just way less modified: no nautical hinges randomly screwed on, no cryptic symbols burnt into the wood. It may even have the stock stain, where the season 1 bow was sanded down and refinished. You can find a detailed discussion of the Season 1 bow in this thread and this thread on Replica Prop Forums.

Found it.

All of these! The characterization is so much fun, the mystery itself is great...I got addicted to this entire series.

A silent killer. Capable (I think) of skewering an undead brain. What more is there to explain? (Pipe Dreams WL)

It's the PS4. Any gamer worth their weight knows that this is going to be one of the grandest, most desirable gaming systems ever. The graphics are going to be just amazing and we'll be one step closer to games being so realistic that we feel like murderers while playing them.

ETA: fear cuts deeper than swords

We started with this bow: http://www.amazon.com/Martin-Jaguar-Takedown-55-Pound-Camouflage/dp/B00213SMFO

...But the arrows you use a very important. There are some good sites on the internet that talk about arrow selection, such as: http://www.rosecityarchery.com/bowhunting_with_wood.htm#Top of Page

These are fairly durable as far as cheap toys go, but they do go pretty fast, I'd probably call it mostly an outside toy, or maybe let them go in the basement with it or something.

https://smile.amazon.com/Zing-Hunterz-Z-Curve-Standard-Packaging/dp/B003O85K2S/

Nothing's wrong with fiberglass. I'm implying that cheap fiberglass bows, such as this one, generally aren't very good. There's a huge difference between a $150 wooden takedown bow and a $50 fiberglass "recurve" that feels like plastic.

These things can pack a wallop. Obviously you would have difficulty competing, but it could be fun.

Noob here as well, but I picked up a Fleetwood Archery recurve 54” 25lb and have been very pleased with it after several times out. You can get them on Amazon or pick it up for same price at Bass Pro Shop as I did. https://www.amazon.com/Fleetwood-Archery-Monarch-Takedown-Recurve/dp/B00V6Q54MQ?th=1&psc=1

and... amazon descends into epic craziness in just a few clicks. Third page of "Customers who viewed this also viewed"

Turn that frown Upsidedown

You could have a bit of fun with this

sorry about your bad day

It depends on which kit you mean, in my home kit I have a compound bow just because I'm good with it and its efficient, no way it would work for edc but I think could be a great asset in a car kit. I assume you are talking about a bow like this one http://amzn.to/1xmHZeV

Yes, and I realize that this is all very vague. I'll try to post some pics when I get a chance.

The bow is a Barnett Sportflight Recurve Archery Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000R9QTFY/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_pZXAxb4BRB41Q

http://imgur.com/1HdrSAu. When I pull back, the arrow still kind of angles like this. Does that help explain my question, I'm sorry if I'm being too unclear.

Barnett Sportflight series is popular

Okay, since you are talking about priorities, we all know the zombie apocalypse is near. In order to protect you and your own I really think you need to buy this Archery Set Not only is it cool, but it will be useful for the zombie apocalypse. In the meantime you can practice and use it as a great stress reliever after a hard day at work.

For myself I really think you should get me the Speed Resistance Training Parachute Again need to prepare for the zombie apocalypse. I need to brush up on my speed and stamina so I can run away from zombie hoards. Also my girlfriend and I would have a blast taking turns wind sprinting...ya know

Are there any more that would fit a similar purpose?
