Olympic archery

Okay, so not exactly the correct subforum, but I guess someone here can help.

Is anyone watching the archery? Since the beginning I've always been fascinated by it.

Where would I be able to shoot such a bow? Are they for hire?
I do not want to shoot a compound bow with a string release thingy, I want to shoot one of these recurves, with a finger release, etc.

What kind of bow poundages do these usually go? At 70 meters to target you probably need something decent, but it cannot be too high as you don't have the let off of a compound bow.

I'm not even going to ask what a proper competition rig goes for...

In PTA you could look at The Bow Shop/ Beyfox Archery. I picked up a compound bow from them last year. Friendly okes, good service. I've seen a few recurves at their store recently.

But, my opinions are extremely biased as that's the only store I've been to.
