			<description>I have recently been exposed to archery, and I like it very much. I think I will eventually buy a recurve bow. I need to measure my draw length, and get advice on how large the bow should be. Luckily we have a local club. 
 
So, anyone into archery? :)</description>

I have a question. I am considering buying a set of zeiss lenses from someone selling it to me.  Just wondering if there was a way to check that their legitimate lenses. He encouraged me to check with zeiss to verify them. However zeiss informed me they could only check newer lenses.  So i am stuck trying to find out how to make sure their good to buy.  Its a lot of money, and i dont want to get stuck with something thats going to give me problems later.<br />
