Finding the Right Recurve Bow at Los Cazadores

Recurve bows offer the ultimate in instinctive shooting and minimal gear. When choosing one, consider draw weight, bow length, and intended use. Hunters often prefer heavier draw weights for game penetration, while beginners benefit from lighter options that allow proper form and control. Takedown recurve bows offer added convenience, allowing you to easily store, transport, or upgrade limbs as your strength and skill grow. Our team at Los Cazadores is here to help you choose the right recurve bow — whether it’s your first or your fifth.


What is a recurve bow and how is it different from other bows?

A recurve bow features limbs that curve away from the archer at the tips, storing more energy and delivering faster arrow speeds than straight-limbed longbows. Unlike compound bows, recurves rely entirely on the archer’s strength and form — there’s no let-off. This makes them a favorite for traditional archers and bowhunters who enjoy a minimalist approach.


Are recurve bows good for beginners?

Yes — recurve bows are great for beginners who want to develop proper shooting technique. They are lightweight, easy to maintain, and offer immediate feedback on your form. Starting with a lower draw weight allows new archers to focus on consistency and accuracy without strain.


Can I hunt with a recurve bow?

Absolutely. Many hunters use recurve bows for hunting deer, hogs, turkeys, and small game. For ethical hunting, a draw weight of 40 pounds or more is typically recommended. Recurves require more practice than compound bows, but offer a unique, rewarding challenge in the field. Make sure to match your arrows and broadheads to your bow’s draw weight for safe and effective results.


What's the advantage of a takedown recurve bow?

Takedown recurves break down into three parts (limbs and riser), making them easier to transport and store. They also allow archers to swap limbs and increase draw weight over time — ideal for progressing shooters. Many bowhunters choose takedowns for their portability during backcountry hunts or travel.


What accessories do I need with a recurve bow?

To get started with a recurve bow, you'll need a stringer, arm guard, finger tab or glove, and properly matched arrows. For hunting, you’ll also need a quiver, broadheads, and possibly a bow-mounted rest or sight, depending on your shooting style. Our team can help you build the right recurve setup from the ground up.
