The October Mountain Mountaineer Dusk recurve at 40 lb in left-hand gives a left-handed bowhunter a 62-inch, three-piece take-down built around the Mountaineer 2.0 riser design (October Mountain part no. OMP2216240). Forty pounds is a middle weight on the Dusk, balancing arrow speed against how comfortably the bow holds at full draw. The riser is crafted from dymondwood and padauk wood, with a slim grip and bushings for a sight, plunger and stabilizer. Bamboo wood limbs provide strength and quick recovery, and the reinforced limb tips handle a Fast Flight string. October Mountain includes a B55 Flemish string and flat head limb bolts.
