A bit more information required
What is the poundage on your fingers?
What sort of Bow, recurve, compound, longbow?
How did you arrive at 25 inch draw length?

Vertek I have to ask have you done a beginners course yet ?

All the basic information about equipment is provided during the course. If you have not done a course then I would strongly suggest that you think about booking up to go on one. You will find all the answers you need about buying your first setup.

There's a few problems with this question.
We don't know how you're measuring draw length. We don't know what weight you're holding on your fingers at full draw. We don't know if you're doing it properly, or whether you'll be drawing longer before too long as you iron out the bugs in your form...

Before I start a beginners couse I want to get a bow for starting with
so I was looking on ebay for a cheapish recurve bow.

This is the bow I am intending on getting and also were I got the info
for my questions.

Vertek, your club should provide you with a training bow. It is widely acknowledged that it is pointless to buy your own equipment even after finishing your course. You should use the club's equipment or join a rental scheme as your poundage and draw length will change.

I know that my poundage and draw lenght will change dramatically.

But.

There's only 1 non third level associated club in galway.

I was unable to contact them because the tel. number didn't dial
and no email.

Do not buy that bow it is far to short and the sight window too small.

[vertek]

Were could I get a bow to start off with costing under
100E bout £65 inc shipping to irl

Thnx

The beginners I teach (for Chantry) have to buy their own kit as soon as they join, as the club policy is to not lend or rent.
