Well I've gone and done it now. I was getting bored with shooting a compound and wanted to do something different and decided to start shooting a recurve again it also didn't help that the shop I hang out at and help with has a traditional team and influenced me some. Mind you this is the first time I've shot one in 17 years since my dad gave me his old 25# Ben Pearson Super Jet recurve to start shooting with and started my Archery addiction. Well I pulled out my Grandfathers 1964 Locksley Puma got a new string for it and got it cleaned up and shot it for the first time last night. Well it reminded my why I love archery so much, what a blast. I haven't had that much fun shooting in years. It reminded me of the days when I would shoot that old Ben Pearson super Jet all day until I had blisters and couldn't even pull the bow back anymore. Well now I'm hooked, I am not ready to go hunting with it but I am better with it than I expected to be. In fact one of the owners of the shop commented to me last night that I was shooting it very well and offered me a spot on the traditional team. I just wanted to share my joy with everyone. I still have alot to learn and remember about shooting a recurve so I'm sure i'll be picking everyones brains here.
