How much is a traditional recurve?

[Bow Walker]

In that case I'd go on over to AT and ask the quwstion in their Trad forum. Someone's bound to know and be able to help you out.

If this is your first trad bow you might want to consider a more common style recurve or long bow.

A mongolian style bow is usually quite short (compared to the other styles) and is usually shot with a thumb ring instead of 3 fingers. When using a thumb ring the arrow is also on the opposite side of the riser from "normal" trad bows. Example: on a standard recurve if you're a right handed shooter the arrow sits on a shelf on the left side of the riser, on a mongolian the arrow sits on the right but both bows are drawn with the same hand (right).

I think the learning curve might be a little steeper with a mongolian as well, as you'll probably have a harder time finding some one who can help you sort out the "bugs" in your shooting form.

But, if it "floats your boat" go for it!
