The cable-backed bow is weaker and doesn't have the same effective distance as the recurve. It is a very fun bow, and certainly shouldn't be overlooked simply because it's a bit more challenging.kahuamp wrote:How does it compare to the Cable-Backed bow?
I couldn't find any info on it in the Store items reviews....

Re: Bows & Crossbows | Recurve Bow
Old comment:
EDIT: It's the arrow choice. To any newbie out there like myself: Don't try to make the cupid arrows work in this, like ever.
It might seem like good idea, especially if you already have those for your compound bow, but they work terribly in it and you'll lose virtually all the performance not just on longer ranges like with the compounds, but even on point-blank ranges. Just switching from Cupids to regular arrows the bow went from absolutely anemic toy unable to penetrate into Whitetail's soft parts any deeper than by its arrow head to absolute beast sinking the arrow almost whole.

Re: Bows & Crossbows | Recurve Bow
The recurve is one of my favorite weapons next to the reverse draw crossbow. I give it a five out of five. The suggestions I can think of is I’d like it if the traditional recurve was a one piece instead of the three piece model. Other than that, beautiful bows! The challenge of hunting with these is fun.
For the ten point crossbow I’d like to see more skin variations like the reverse draw has.
