    I would second the Wolf's den great service and a range where you can try before you buy.

    What does a decent bow normally cost you? I realize that a good crossbow will be in the 6-800 dollar range but what about the bow? It wouldn't really be cheaper would it?

    Thank you

    Recurves are usually less than half the price of a compound or a cross bow,usually in the $250-$450 range fully rigged.

    They're definitely the most cost efficient but they take the largest time investment to become proficient enough to hunt with.

    Mateo - if you're just looking for fun on the range, a recurve can't be beat. If you're looking for a hunting bow, lean towards a compound or crossbow. You can hunt with a recurve of course, but it will take lots of practice.

    OP - if you're ever up this way Saugeen Shafts is another good place that hasn't yet been listed.

    Check out LeBaron's. They have a store in Markham and another in Mississauga. I've dealt with them for years and always got good service. They regularly have sales, and if you buy a membership for $25, you get 10% off all purchases. I bought an Excalibur from them about 10 years ago. Very happy with it. It's the only crossbow I have any experience with.

    I dealt with Stacey at Cabelas in Barrie. Good price on the bow I bought and he took 45 minutes with me ensure i was comfortable and the bow was properly set up for me.

    Bought mine used on the Archerytalk website. It's an American site, but bows are not illegal to import and require no special paperwork or rules (firearms are different). I purchased my top of the line "mint" Hoyt Nitrum Turbo for about $800 delivered. It retailed in Canada for double that price. I have shot it several hundred times and have had no problems. I'd highly recommend the site, but like any money exchange on the Internet, be careful.

    Id also highly The Bow Shop on Colby, in Waterloo. Great staff, and great service. I bought my recurve and my sons PSE there. They made sure I was 100% happy before leaving.

    Archers Nook London! Everything will be assembled in front of you, your draw length sized for your arrow length, draw weight set and adjusted, sighted in with staff and then yourself at their indoor range (At no extra cost). My excalibur crossbow, my compounds and all my archery gear always comes from there. Check em out online and give em a shout.
