Where to get a new bow?

I'm going to be getting a new bow for the birthday, can anyone recommend a shop with a selection of bows I can try out?

Q1: Can you travel to England?
Q2: Do you have a big birthday budget?

If so, try,

John Stagg, 10 Christmas Steps, Bristol England

(One of the best bowmakers in Europe)

I'm building a house right now and planning a wedding for next sep so the budget ist brilliant

BUT, I am looking at this as a good investment. So nothing is out of the question. Realistically I have in the region of €300 to spend, surely I'll get something decent for that?

That kind of rules stagg out for the moment. and it was meant to be €500.

If you want to go down the carbon fibre route, have a look at www.codabow.com

For that price you could get a nice hand-made pernambucco bow from one of the Brazil shops like Water Violet or Arcos Brasil. Try out some of those bows, lots of shops carry them and they can perform like bows costing thousands.

Three months ago, I popped for the top of the line Coda Bow and I'm glad I did. It's a responsive work horse and worth every penny.
