I'm looking for a recurve bow for my daughter. I'd like to keep the price under $200 as this is her first bow.
From what I have been told, PSE makes their traditional (wood) recurve bows in communist China, and on their lower end bows the quality is supposed to be spotty at best. The aluminum/composite PSE Optima is made in the US.
Samick makes their wood and composite bows in allied/friendly South Korea and seems to have an excellent reputation among target shooting archers.
Browning seems to have sold their archery division to PSE.
Where are the wood/traditional (moderately priced ~ not top end ~ but not toys) take down October Mountain (OMP), Martin, Greatree, Ragim and other brand bows made?
I'd like to buy a traditional bow (wood/wood composite) that is made here in the USA.
