What if I have issues with the bow?
While we do inspect the bows, sometimes we miss things or damage happens in shipping. If you have any issues with the bow, let us know and we will take care of you:)
How to adjust brace height?
Brace height is the distance between the string and the deepest part of the handle. You can adjust brace height by twisting or untwisting the string. You can adjust the string length about .5" in each direction which will adjust brace height the same distance. Out of the package the string should give you about a 7.5" brace height.
Whats the difference between the recurve and longbow?
The Black Hunter recurve and longbow are very similar. The main difference is the max draw length. As a rule of thumb, recurves shoot faster and longbows shoot smoother.Â
Can I get different draw weights?
Yes you can:) Without buying a whole new bow, you can increase or decrease draw weight by buying replacement limbs that fit the same handle.Â
Does the recurve limbs and longbow limbs fit on the same riser (handle)?
Yes they do, you can buy longbow limbs for your recurve handle or vice versa. Just be sure the connection is the same between the limb and the riser (2 locator pins and 1 limb bolt). If you are purchasing from Shatterproof Archery, it will be.
What is the "limbs only" option on the listing?
Limbs only would be an option for someone who already has the riser (handle) and accessories of the bow. With the limbs only option you will receive only limbs, while with the full kit you receive the riser, limbs, limb bolts, flemish twist bowstring, endless loops bowstring, string silencers, arrow rest, and for recurve bows, limb silencers.
