I gues im really a newbie to bows. when I was young dad got me a recurve bow, it didnt pull much but just enough to go "hunting" birds (more like terrorising them) around the yard. I dont know where that old bow went to but now Id like to get a good recurve bow for hunting. I just saw this one on the hoyte web site and was wondering if it was a good one. any help is appreciated. thanks!!
