RE: Red Wing Hunter set up
I just got the same bow (Red Wing Hunter at 58") recently except it's a 55 pounder. I got it back from the traditional archery shop on Friday with a new string and a dozen new cedar arrows. I had a chance to shoot it today. I really like it. Your 53lbs is a tad high to start off with if you havent shot a recurve much before. You kinda need to grow into it. It's just my opinion... I used to shoot a 70lb compound (wheels) bow with no problem. But I could only shoot about 15-20 shots today from the 55lb recurve before my arm started acheing and it was effecting my shot. Good luck and keep practicing!
