What got me to finally try a bow was , ironically , my crossbow .
Once I started flinging those little arrows I got to wondering about flinging the bigger ones so I borrowed a recurve and practiced with it until I was ready to try hunting with one . Now I own my own bow , a 50# PSE Kudu , along with the crossbow and hunt with both . My inspiration for buying a recurve was partly my Uncle Dennis who used to hunt with one , and being too lazy to maintain a compound .
