6 Top Rated Recurve Bows You Need to Try

Top Rated Recurve Bows

Recurve bows are one of the more versatile bows out there. They are great for everyone from beginner to professional, they are lightweight and easy to transport, and they work more efficiently than the bulkier longbow.

You really can’t go wrong with a recurve bow.

That being said, there are many different types of recurve bows out there, and some are better than others.

If you’re on the market for a new recurve bow, read on for reviews of some of the more popular models available.

1)) PSE Razorback

The PSE Razorback is a hundred dollar, one-size-fits-all recurve bow. At 6 feet long and 1.8 pounds heavy, this bow is lightweight albeit a little on the bulkier side.

The bow is made from a solid piece of wood and is not collapsible. It also doesn’t come with any accessories, but PSE makes several that are available for purchase after the fact.

The PSE Razorback may seem no-frills, but for a beginning archer, this is all you need. A quality bow, and a desire to shoot it.

The Samick Sage bow also comes complete with an arrow rest and a B-50 bow string.

It’s also easily compatible with the Samick Sage Hunting Kit, a kit that includes many other useful accessories for the bow.

The Obert Archery Takedown Bow is a budget bow with a draw weight of up to 60 pounds.

At just over $100, this is a heavy duty option for beginners on up.

This one, however, is collapsible, making for easier transport. The Mandarin Duck Phantom has a bow length of 56 inches and a maximum draw length of 29 inches, making this a bow that is geared towards smaller archers.
