I started out w/ a Whammo in the '60s. Just another bulldog that barked here and bit over yonder, lol. I've had several over the years, kinda off and on. Now that I live where they are legal to hunt w/ and have 4 deer limit and 4 1/2 months to hunt, they are the cats meow! I used to use a vert but dinged my rotator cuff and that was the end of those, and another sport I was into, muzzle loading competition. I can shoot the recurves offhand and spend alot of time burning arrows.
