Any advice appreciated, chaps

I was in the same position wanting a recreational compound - and went for a Browning Rage - not a top flite bow but decent, and with adjustable cams giving 10 inches of draw length adjustment - without any bowpress etc - just move the cam ! Check out the browning website as some of the higher spec bows still have 4 inches of adjustment built in.

Retail about £200 in uk (I got it for £80 on Ebay)

Bowsports have them in stock
