Hey Y'all- I dropped in a few weeks ago.
I'm an ole finger flinger from way back (hate releases)-
been shootin since I was 5 (50s)-
1st bow was a Bear Panda (I know none of you are that old!)
Started shooting competitively at 7 (still in the 50s).
I had a big advantage- my uncle was the rep for both
Bear & Wing for the west coast and my cousin was the
shop forman at Easton- got all my bows & arrows gratis

Quit shooting competitions in the late 80s-
just shoot for fun and bowhunt now-
still prefer to bowhunt with a recurve- simplicity!
(still have a closet full of bows, compounds too).

bow in the pic is an original Wing (prototype) compound 1973.
It was the first, long compound with recurve limbs (probably the only)-
won more tournaments with that bow than any other bow I've ever had.

..lookin forward to hangin out on your boards...
