all what you like to hunt.best shotgun made in my opinion is the BERATTA 12GA URICKA FIELDin 28 inch barrel.i hunt grouse ,pheasants.as for bow, i like martin recurve45/50 #, yes a recurve.i will out shoot any compound bow up to 25 shots.no sights, instintice shooting.i know my guns and i know my bows, if you need any info, i will help.

so sproulman you think your better then a compound shooter.... with a recurve... i know a kid that will put a dozen arrows in the whole the size of a quater at 40 yds..... you might be good though

no way i can do that.30 yards is my limit and ,this is where i am accurate.i have to shoot at different targets with my arrows or i will split most at 20 yards.not better ,same up until 25 shots,then compound shooter is better.i own compound also.sorry, i made statement that i would out shoot compound.only i HAVE at range and they cant get over that i can do that.no sights.instintive shooting.been shooting for 40 years,started at 8 years old.i guess you can see that i favor recurve.here is reason, accurate, light,easy in tree,easy to carry, deadly to 30 yards,quiet on release, no mechincal problems. negatives, you must practice,build your arms.i am last here that use a recurvein my area.everything is compound.they are nice but i dont like feel, weight, sights, noise, repairs. here is great recurve that i am going to buy. its called BLACK WIDOW.it has a let off too on the 50 #that feels like 35#.i dont know if i will like that but will try it out..again, not making any fun of compound bow.only, i shoot much better with recurve and fun to carry in woods.i dont like weight of compound .take care.
