Alex, that may not be a problem. As long as I get to be in the woods, I'm happy.

As far as what I'm looking for, I want a recurve and I will be shooting instinctive (sights aren't allowed and I enjoy open sights). I'm doing research right now to find the disadv/adv of one piecevs. take down as well as the short vs. long bows. Any insight in these areas would be great.

Thanks guys.
